I wake in yawn
to tickle feather in gathered light,
outside my willowy window
of mirrored impression,
for I am one accustomed to
a quiet verse, and paint inside me,
my pastel wishes of morning vespers.
My eye bends bough in Mist's mirage,
to bathe in easy effervescence
of Meadow's dance,
as March is melting
with skin approving such a bubble,
in spirit glad
for blue and green
to join in hands of white retreating.
Sounds of feathers laugh in game
through wilder brush of song returning
in Season's innocence of birth to bless,
bending Texas Creek to rush
in crystal song of what was snow,
and I am grateful for my life
to find in symbol, the color of happy.
This is moment of eternal smile
when heart is one with eye and shadow,
when nowhere sighs to find now here
in grace to give without a reason.
There is much to know
when soft is soul
surrendered to Love without a question,
there are arms to hold
in magic embrace of world to wag,
as one in circle
ever turning to bare its miracle,
when wind is blush to sing amazement.

when nowhere sighs to find now here
this is one of the most serene and graceful poems I have ever read until now ... I hardly have any fitting words to express my gratitude for such beauty ...
silence would be the only decent response to such verse ...
I shall therefore meet you in silence and share with you the grace of this moment ...
you've made me speechless ... and believe me, this is an almost impossible thing to do ...
