In Stillness the Dancing

Connecting life, scripture, and poetry

arrested in the after-thought

Beth Ferguson, January 17, 2009

naked in thought

The trees down the boulevard stand naked in thought,
Their abundant summery wordage silenced, caught
In the grim undertow; naked the trees confront
Implacable winter’s long, cross-questioning brunt.
 

The clear, cold sky coldly bethinks itself.
Like vivid thought the air spins bright, and all
Trees, birds, and earth, arrested in the after-thought
Awaiting the sentence out from the welkin brought. 

~D. H. Lawrence
