Pure as drops of rain,
doused in marmalade flames.
As pinkish sunset that floods
over the sea, oh restores hope
and faith in darkening fields.
Though hidden in plain sight
it’s just a breeze upon the wind,
as moonless midnight in July
as vapour, as smoke, as recurring
dream, can you guess what this
Poetess could possibly mean?

There is the sense of one waiting for something that will restore the tired spirit. Perhaps, I read this in the list of natural images which seem to suggest hope and longing for inspiration.
Thank you so much, Kerry 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
No, I cannot guess but I love it. “oh restores hope and faith in darkening fields”
“Though hidden in plain sight it’s just a breeze upon the wind,” I always enjoy your lovely lyrical poems.

Not a clue! But a lovely poetic riddle nonetheless 💙❤

Isn’t it so true, it’s always in plain sight just waiting for us to realize.
Beautifully expressed!
Definitely 😀 thanks for stopping by, Neeraj ❤️
Whatever it is, it sounds lovely.

It is waiting for a lover at sunset, Sanaa?
It’s “waiting for the perfect moment in time.” ❤️
Made me think of the breath, which itself is a vehicle to that perfect moment. Lovely stuff Sanaa.
Thank you so much, Paul 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
I love the marmalade flame sunset very much.
Thank you so much, Sherry 😀 so good to see you ❤️
Lovely poem Sanaa. Unless it is the flower in the window or dawn, I haven’t a clue. A beautiful riddle nonetheless.
🙂
Beautiful images! It almost doesn’t matter what the “it” is, when so deliciously described. I too thought of the flower pictured, because of “hidden in plain sight” – but I have now found your explanation, above. Good one!
Thank you so much, Rosemary 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
I love how you steeped this piece in rich natural imagery. It gives me the feeling that narrator is waiting on something also just so…….well done and viva la!
Thank you so much, Isadora 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
(and thank you for the lovely prompt)
I like the “hidden in plain sight,” for sure it is hidden from me. But it must be gorgeous to live up to all the pretties referenced to it.
