DECELERATION DREAM
22 January 2012

Again, to bend like a reed
when a tiny bird finds it
and so to stay
for a sparkle-moment
the sun’s dial
and the moon’s arc-journey
across the night

to relish a rainbow hue
of savoured word-births
untinged by tickled ears

to breathe sweet, sweet hay
birthed of harvest-sun’s heart
and soothed by mother-moon’s grace

to wrap my smiles in the glee
of infinite blue forever-skies
with little laughing fluff-bubbles
of suspended cottonwool

to sew my seeds of joy-labour
in microcosmic detail-delight
and sleep my silvered restoration
until vibrant morning-light

all this
wonder
storm-free
in the comforting cocoon
of cool-shaded solitude
on a simmering summer day

all this
untamed treasure
unrushed
unblemished

is Heaven’s bliss

And you brought this bliss to my world with every word you wrote, Owl. Beautiful images flit through my head - and I want to see your world ... and I do through your eyes. Thank you for sharing.

This poem is very delicate... The "unrushed and unblemished" at the end really solidifies it... Like bringing it forth from wish to reality. Nice touch.

"all this
untamed treasure
unrushed
unblemished"

You have spent the treasure wisely;
By releasing this script, from the open chest of your written poems--
To plenish the worlds garden of verses.

So personal, yet universal in its concept
Everybody wants to be you,
Everyone wants what you picture here.

What a beautiful response, Ford! I don't know about everybody wanting to be me (I know I certainly do, lol!), but what I picture here, is there for everyone - they just simply have to see it and choose it. Smiles.

Thank you, Bruce, for seeing the important part that Nature plays in my trying to slow down my life.

Thank you, Yann, for your beautiful words.
