A forest bathed in inky glistening night
Is suddenly bathed in what could have been the moon
As time collapses in on itself
A rosy, golden ribbon of dawn
Reaches out to embrace a thread of dusky bronze
As a lady passes in her majesty
With footsteps like the turning pages of a favourite story
She pauses to murmur in a voice comprised of quite moments
As she pauses to nurture the first breath of a blossoming idea
The trees lean to grasp what they can of her essence
And the very earth sighs to simply feel her presence
As she weaves her way off to somewhere brighter,
The wood remains
Forever made more brilliant by her grace

I really enjoyed the flow of this piece, I liked how the ryming add even more flow (I'm awestruck because my ryming is terrible). Also, this was a very powerful peice, I think that every reader will be moved in some way when they read this poem. So, overall, this peom is great! Keep on writing!
Wow, that is a really nice poem! I liked the majestic, yet oddly mysterious vibe it gave me. I adored your use of adjectives, I could literally picture "A rosy, golden ribbon of dawn"- which was one of my favorite lines. On the downside, I think that the flow of the poem was a little off, that if you didn't read it just right, it'd sound awkward. In the lines
"She pauses to murmur in a voice comprised of quite moments
As she pauses to nurture the first breath of a blossoming idea ", I think that you could have left out the "as she" and put a comma, which would give it a bit of a repitious feel, yet make the flow go smoother. For " the wood remains", all I think is that it needed a comma or period at the end, but other than that, I really enjoyed this! c:
