Stream with stones near waterfalls
sprayed mist as speech
in vines embrace with taste of trust
on hungry lips where life took walk
to search for Soul;
while whimpered sounds
waved wish in bloom
through curve of hill’s empowered height
up tranquil stare each step feet tread,
as traveler journeyed, joy in heart.
Long days dimmed candle
lit for light into night’s bosom
huddled close with clothes from beams
celestial clovers
sewed at every point it made;
a kiss to keep in earthen box
of Angel’s cries with tears turned gold
and placed in pouch worn round swan's neck~
another treasure trove to keep.
Template nature needed most
to duplicate sun’s song in day
within moon’s cradle, crest at night
stained cream where clouds
once danced on stage.
Pirouettes in mountain’s moan
with echo etched down shoulders length,
skies skipped in beats to trace shadows
where family found amongst wild things.
Heart as blanket, blessed with touch
by soil’s smile outstretched for miles,
Spirit walked, worried none;
eternity entrusted
within elemental hands.
