To Dream of Honeyed Clover I walked on callused road following a curling thought and I was drenched my breath a torch for I knew where I was going thus far and my faith leaped across the precipice and then caught me firm and growing How tall I seemed so wrapped in the moon and then kneeling into the dirt of meadow shimmering with fragility caught in questioning one small blade of grass and indeed there were enchants a heaven of diaphanous clouds and one of them holding a rainbow so dainty and perfectly colored with no beginning or end only this pure now 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 with honeyed clover and spread me out and I let it have its way with me and plant this fertile place with ancient harmony and I thought this is the place where I was born and will die and 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. |

I remember well the first time you posted this penning to allow us to sojourn into your exquisite poetic heaven. Beautifully expressed my friend. |

Martie~ Such a beauty from the pen that captures your thoughts. 'kneeling into the dirt of meadow shimmering with fragility caught in questioning one small blade of grass' I can picture it just as you've drawn it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

.......and still I chased some majesty that called my name-- Lovely phrase - One day perhaps we shall find that for which we search. Great poem. jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Oh this poem was wonderful, it left me breathless and wistful. With this strange longing to get my little "New York Garden" started in my overly shady lot....LOL The things reading all this poetry does to me! Beautiful work... ~Heather |
