To Saumwickshire, To Save

Knurled cherry air,
Set stonelit wraiths
Of Saumwickshire
That sit.

On needled tip
A silv'ry bud
A-reached me lorn:
O lorded lip!

Divide, deluge,
Delight of dryads,
Nexus north of void.

Shorn colors swirl
In eyes that drowse
B'oneirical lies employed.

Mine legs so heavy,
Heart so vast in
Clumb'ring step on step—

To lose, forsooth,
My lung, my light,
Of cherried air:
Forebrightened by
The breeze which plays
Upon the graves
Of Saumwickshire that sit.

I'm intrigued by the title, Saumwickshire. Any background story? Is it the variety of the tree? a made-up name/place?

Twisted, like the branches of the cherry tree. Interesting combination of overwhelming beauty that almost kills. Man's aspirations over possibilities? Overreaching?
A suffocating babelian ascend onto contemplation that becomes a contemplation in itself, accentuated by the ever heavier pacing.

How often do we pursue self-inflicted punishment? How often do we demand more than we deserve? and how often are we saved beyond our due?
From the very beginning the poem sets up a phantasmagorical atmosphere punctuated by the description of the elements that would otherwise transmit freshness and relaxation. It's the magnanimity of endless power we can barely fathom.

These cherry trees knurl the air, impregnate it with floral mouths that kiss like royalty, like heavenly power. The lord Himself expressing his immensity through the touch the size of a needle tip.
Do we deserve salvation from He who

stretches out the north over the void
and hangs the earth on nothing.

Ah, exhilarating!

Gorgeous! It smells of cherries indeed. Food for the soul and the eyes.

It's pretty baroque (and bucolic, certainly). The beholder seize all the elements of the scene and inhales them; all gets in and cleanses the soul, then he exhales a puff of cherry and snaking trees and greens, which spread before our eyes like a multitude of feelings.

Step, step, step, the sound of breath coming into and out of our lungs, the sound of ones own bumping heart. Quite vivid piece. Free trip for me.

Exquisite. Thanks for sharing, @d-pend ☻♥

@d-pend Beautiful stanzas and beautiful images. What a marvel to enjoy the breeze that plays in that beautiful walk of the beautiful image of the forest and its enchanting tree. Enjoy sitting on the wall and contemplating the colors of the beautiful landscape. Happy and wonderful night, dear friend, lover of sweet and beautiful poetry.
