(2004)

I find myself wrapped in the circumference
of a lullaby rainfall, taller than a sequoia –
I call out a black crowsong caw to elements.

Love is a time king.
Nature rhymes me.

I am the sea, unruly, the metaphysical earth question,
the resurrection of an interjection of mud and silt.
My leaves and comes wilt off of hope stems.
I bend by a truth breeze, ease myself into
replanting, re-emerge barefoot, stark, standing
solid on the current of earthquake grace.

I chase the perplexities of reason,
newborn calves, my release of wonder, thunder,
the tease of a matinee moonsky.

Why do I bother studying butterflies?
It is in the expanse of wings where
futility ceases to sing when
Autumn brings their demise.

I take the size of winter, splinter it into my palm,
dig it out from snow piled atop my ardor.
I welcome the sting of spring's bees,
poisoned by the reckoning of a season's
resilience.

Summer must come.

The cycles interrogate me.
I plead with garden remedies.
I plead with garden remedies.

It is in the course of following
the outcome of a dawn
where I succeed in
putting daylight on
like a gown.

I will only be renowned
once I am owned by the capture
of a moment on a page, wings wide –
pierced with a pin.

The monarch wins his place
on a surface.

I like to think of the spirit of the butterfly.
I just watched some very small puff of a cloud go to pink. It was simple, it was brilliant and beautiful! I thought at that moment of your friend Doreen, the rainbow friend and that he might like small, pink clouds, too.
I hope you are feeling better.
I hope your friend is too.
Many thoughts from me.
Lovely ever poem.
`Do you know, I was so angry, Kitty,' Alice went on...`when I saw all the mischief you had been doing, I was very nearly opening the window, and putting you out into the snow! And you'd have deserved it, you
little mischievous darling!

Thank you, my dear friend!

Sorry, I haven't been here a lot lately.

That was beautiful that you thought of my friend! He is doing much better but he has a fight going on. He is up riding a bike sometimes! There is a rainbow! He's following it....

And thank you for your well wishes to me, also. I'm hanging in.

xxoo
Thank you for reading my poem and commenting so kindly! i am grateful.
