Now I stand bereft of robe before you all--bare, exposed... A drape of cloth in covering and all the warmth such comfort brings. I stitch upon dark robe of me distraction of embroidery. an eye of daisy needed grace, and so a citrine, I did place in center of a velvet street-- the petals plush, point straight to me. Golden wheat of amber eye... upon my robe, the daisies cried. 'Sun-drops' in a flood of rain, skyclad dance of naked pain almond dew of tears uncried-- upon my robe? A river dried, gulleys left upon my weep... white-gloved ladies serving tea. Hot-house hearts of striate skin-- All I am--without, within... My eyes are spark of blue again in strobe of chance to let you in... A newling fern, in curl of sprout-- a yearn unfurling, whispered shout... next to the sage I planted when I did not fear knowledge as sin nor wisdom as the fruit of bliss--- glimpse, preceded by a hiss. Seasons change with rise of fist, as memories dazzle in the mist... From sorrow grows the roots of rage as Oaken leaves gasp words of mage in silent sway beneath the moss I give back all the things I bought tracing dark of silhouette and rock to rhythm still unmet. Have you never stopped to reach a petal in first fuzz of leaf? Or tilt your nose in sniff of air scent of jasmine--knowing--there? To wonder at the silver trail still glistening from absent snail? At times I think my heart will burst-- beauty-full--spring--rebirth-- I know that love lives on in me as sure as sun sprouts moistened seed. I know the tide returns again erasing footsteps of my pain. I'm spending every day like this. In search of that eternal kiss... finding wonder in the grasp of a newborn's trusting clasp. A tiny curl of honest hand, around my thumb, a reprimand-- of all the faith I lacked before. To think that I once dreamed of more... |
