Then to be the lamb
Searching with angora eyes:
The vertical dawn of a silent rendering
We, similar beings, tenderly paw the snow
Sipping thoughts of milk
Nipping dreams of raven moonlight
Tripping merrily in light foot fleet of meadow fodder
Itinerant the cottonwood of heart and memory

And I knew, in a second breath the soft
When spring left quietly beneath a winter drape
That you would come, bidding castanet awakening
And your hands would flank eternity in one long and lingered stroke
As I, the lamb, would trust the shear of a safe and painless take

Is this what it means,
to be a lamb?

I would leave a sound behind me...
as beautiful as you make it seem...

One might think of Samson and a certain lady.

Though somewhat in reverse...  This is an
awesome write.  It feels fantastic.  Love
the words,  the vision in my mind...all of
it.

very creative write! I always love the meshing or comparison of two subjects expressed as one...your writings are beautifully cryptic and creative.
