A homeland, she thought with affectionate smile
Not so far off in the distance
Short weeks had riveted an entire territory
Wider then one could place their arms around

And here, here she was a pilgrim, at her own risk

Notions fingered her mind
Unlatching the giant porch of morning
Of sunshine, warmth and a fine high brow vision
Thinker growing legs ecstatically running into
Spiritual deepness and enigmatic
Streams of clear fertility, grasping for entreaty
Woven cream colored suspension, carefree
And easy…
Every single moment…
For what is there to fear….really?

Wordless openings pouring with keys
Being quite irrational, warm lamps sheen
A Divine glance
Chanting at length, rising and falling
Like a wooden mast at sea
Where books join forms having absolute meaning
For a walk by eager names and there came…
Secret places and chance perceptions
From the bedside of a heaving wave

Hush, be still, encourages the muse
Brush your mind with depths of the ocean
Warf-front and old city lamp posts
Pave the way
Of course...I extend my webbed hand

Yes..of course!  Love this one Lee!
Read aloud quietly this read like a prayer.
