The Swing
Spring eats tomorrow out of our hands
We shall walk on stone hot coals
As we teach time in our mirror to gaze
while floating on earth
Image running on atmosphere…with the air
Living chastely in the midst of temptations
For our delivered day
Words float through open windows
No more sweating in the nights
Mood is ominous, voices relaxed
I imagine filled pages where fingers move
While the sea caresses opening visions to the world
Calling up all types of shapes and colors
Wearing a coat filled with us
Rendering diplomas to the touch
Growing larger, becoming cloth
Filling the earth with soft green light
Such a fragrance, dancing clear syllables and sounds
Like tender mangos, dreamlike poems fill our glass
Drinking brooks and music
Falling next to you in the moonlight
Deep in my mind, heart and soul you shine forever
We stubbornly grow liberty
In our very own ways…deeply breathing you
Flowering fields
We are a strong splendid tree
Connecting centers of a civilization
We ascend to the music of homage
Where open hours live with us
Carnations explode, in the thick of violets
Conveying a remarkable intensity of emotion
With out one word spoken

So many layers in this...but this particular part caught my eye...something about continued growth, going beyond where imagination might lead us...and green...all of that...touched me.  Thank you, Lee.

Your symbols have creamed a lotion
And have created an ocean.
Wonderful write.
