Morning sun draws up night frost Crystal transmutes to liquid, then vapor, then gone Morning sun draws up my spirit Anguish transmutes to indifference, then peace, then gone Februarys river flows wide, deep, and swift Tugging at its bank, caressing my soul Calling, urging, promising to share Fluid, flowing secrets... Solitude, antonymous with loneliness Forest monarchs, free of human traits Keep silent company While speaking of higher things. Westward the river sulks, dark and brooding To the east she is joyous, dancing, reflecting The radiant light of her rising Father 'Till guise of time-- Well equipped for mischief-- Works its cyclic reverse Lo! Brilliance fades, darkness ignites A long Distant Nearness stirs the heart The Greatest Remembrance--laughs At memorys inability to retrieve it Yet, in love and compassion, imparts A fragment of its sweetness. Potpourri, of leaves, twigs and emotions Long devoid of seeming life Releases stirring fragrance of the Elusive Nearness Beckoning, promising, receding. Seasons of change, constant, unceasing Mock the Changeless Buffeting the heart and binding the mind. Helios warmth comforts winters chilled cheeks Heart thaws, that soul may swim In liquid love Ever observed By the Distant Nearness ------------------ lenny |
