If sentience spoke a language, as gathered spirits out of sight Taken in by taste of spring, or the building fire’s appetite To glean each silent footstep crept as undisturbed as fluttered leaves And smell the smoke and build the hearth that fate hides up its sleeves Into the stillness of I love you, without sound or noise or need Tender rituals bouquet of thought, in wildflower rose from thorn to bleed Gathering twigs that stick the throat in oak, and pale soft pine If sentience spoke but fingertips to barely break the surface shine And each smile provoked in a multiple, each touch an incalculable prize Above the thigh high horizons, under watch of such fluent consensual eyes From a basket of wishes, more than loaves and fishes extend To select proper kindling in the pleasure of ardent intend Copyright Kkh 2/28/03 |

Very nice. ^^ That's what we, as heroes, do. We live as if the world were like it should be, to show the world what it could be. |
