prophet

A meadow lay in April green
In fragrant scents, of pore and clean
With unborn buds about to burst
To pastel shades of limb and earth

A foot upon the spongy sod
Draws footprints sanctified by God
Unleashing vibrant yellow hues
In mottled dawns and misty dews

How fast the fragile hand of hope
Spreads lavenders across the slope
Then rests the eye upon a blade
And pastel seasons as they fade

The ivory moon from phase to phase
Is prophet of the changing days
From barren field with hollow stalk
To frigid slopes of glittering chalk

The meadow is a memory’s flight
From budding green to icy white
But far beyond the cold and bleak
Are better meadows that I seek

I believe hope is man kinds' sword...and you my dear poet, have penned a master piece with your even songs of love...

truly inspiring and beautiful...
