Only trees look at her
with transparent irises
droppled unto each leaf;
fingers of a moss-green fern
enfold a chirping dream;
her mouth filled with honey
forms sprouting words ...
She washes her hands
in a bowl of milk-white cream
and let it dry as second skin;
then she returns sanctified
while soft voices of the forest-folk
murmur about secret paths and free flight
and other untreaded regions ...
The captured clock
again regains it's tick ... tock ...
kneeling at the mountainstream
she delivers the clear gift
to saturate arum lilies and to fertilise
riverbanks of tomorrow
myra

it is an intensified form for cradling ... but, perhaps I must use the word dancing ...but no, that is not reflecting the comforting, tactile action I wanted to capture. And yes, it is in my other poem, 'The Released Sun' LOL
