Last week, a milder trumpet sound
Was heard in wind, had purged the ice
From earth, and warmed the church
That is her breast;
*
Heralding angels, feather dressed
Out of the heavens, ascending
From service, in diocese fields
Of southern America,
*
to scout the northern hedgerow lines
(Because it seemed the time)
To build new rectories,
And for my sight, a place to worship.
*
But cold that left, returned
And winter, so it seems, for shows
On boughs of evergreens,
Bishops dressed in blue and rust,
Perched on fallen snow.

Ah..ice, Sir...

~*~

let me stand 'neath the rows
were the wildest flower grows
by touch of spring, and e-ven'ing
and sow the sigh a bluebird brings...
