5488 Clementine Upon the Wind 22 June 2006 Ahead was flight yet what of wings Was it this, nature was to provide to fly forth and welcome joy Whether in heights of a mountain top or towers built by man This beginning of time as to hands touching in an ethos of hope An electrifying reality, or a closing dawn that sunrise, or summer held over from winter Much to a flower in bud, a rose ready to open toward the humble daisy, wildflowers to the wind Dandelion seeds, or thistle tufts one man’s weed, that of a woman’s love Amour, a heart beating in relevance Clementine, her fragrance in flight upon the wind “In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be.” Hubert H. Humphrey (1911 - 1978) US politician, Vice-President USA 1965-69 © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

Beautifully expressed. Indeed things change depending on how we look at them. Love, Margherita  |
