To Dream of Honeyed Clover

I walked on callused road
following a curling thought,
I was drenched
my breath a torch,
for I knew where I was going
thus far and my faith leaped
across the precipice
then caught me firm and growing.

How tall I seemed
wrapped in the moon,
then kneeling
into the dirt of meadow
shimmering with fragility
caught in questioning
one small blade of grass.

Indeed there were enchants.
A heaven of diaphanous clouds,
one of them holding a rainbow,
dainty and perfectly colored
with no beginning or end.
I chased some majesty
that called my name,
it was filled with words like stars,
dripping sound
that found me and pierced my thirst
with honeyed clover,
then spread me out
and I let it have its way with me,
plant this fertile place
with ancient harmony.

I thought, this is the place
where I was born and will die,
then I was awake
and so caught in this delicious memory
that on my hands I held the fragrance
of the dark and loamy earth.

and still I chased some majesty
that called my name
and it was filled with words like stars
and it dripped sound
that found me and pierced my thirst

Your words are enchanting~
This was beautiful Martie.

Oh man....the imagery and vocabualry in this is just so original and so very cool....
and yes...Sy-babes is right, your work is like a painting...and reading you is like stepping into one and walking thru each verse of color and light, sight and sound.
You take us there every time.

Some find subtlety in strangers,
some find subtlety in alone.
Your eyes, you see everything,
my eyes, I see it all together now ... and I know.
