To Dream of Honeyed Clover I walked on callused road following a curling thought, I was drenched my breath a torch, for I knew where I was going thus far and my faith leaped across the precipice then caught me firm and growing. How tall I seemed wrapped in the moon, then kneeling into the dirt of meadow shimmering with fragility caught in questioning one small blade of grass. Indeed there were enchants. A heaven of diaphanous clouds, one of them holding a rainbow, dainty and perfectly colored with no beginning or end. I chased some majesty that called my name, it was filled with words like stars, dripping sound that found me and pierced my thirst with honeyed clover, then spread me out and I let it have its way with me, plant this fertile place with ancient harmony. I thought, this is the place where I was born and will die, 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. ____ 5-00 [This message has been edited by Martie (02-12-2002 11:47 AM).] |

You take us there every time. Some find subtlety in strangers, |
