streaming ... rain clouds dance over top of my head holding arms in do-si-do’s ballet scrambling with a wind at their backs their rushing led by the sky’s valet emerald canvas stretched over mountain tops the break of sienna and bark holding still inviting wings of red feathers and stings dreams to fly and soar my aerial thrill sparkling spring running its spindly length rapid's froth building in eddy's sloe depths aquamarine shimmers 'neath quivering feet rocks with fur under a watering swept streaming broken beams of warming rays splashing upon my face 'til comfort calls the day awakens to gently greet angler’s homing heaven, sans walls a sporting cast towards a quarry’s hold sinking gold reflects its catching intent spinning blades of enticing wet feasts come away empty, yet never to resent the second try hits a hiding mark luring a smash and the fight ensues freedom names both, winners for the day a streaming return, it imbues M.A. Miller 09.25.00 < !signature--> My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.
