A Warm Lipped Westerly
I am madly alive today.
arrayed in the bright coat of the hopeful
I saunter and parade my stride.
This dawning morn I wandered out
wending myself upon
a hunched and pensive way -
then it was
that the warm west wind kissed
the thin ice of a low mood
that had bothered my
minding of it.
Smiles lit up my gladding blood.
Clouds scudded away
blessed to be flown by the sky.
I must give praise to whatever
for both I and you live in the light,
a radiance none can sunder
The Westerlies do blow
and the Spring air leaps
out of its long ponderings.
This boisterous day,
the balmy winds
are sprightly and footloose
a questing question
and yet undoubtedly
the hoped for crowning
and most paramount answer.
