to splash …
words like watercolors
dialect, dripping …
a canvas of cognition
soft-stained with dreamy notion -
tinged with tender twilight
and sins invoiced …
oh, to throb a heart
or draw the briny issue of an eye …
to mutter of the ages
or a meadow of highland heather
to change a mind
or a world
with phrase alone …
what more could a soul ask
but (gently) this?
no blushing reach
or starry vault
could e’er match the wonders
of simple pen and page
put to task by one
foolish man’s meandering …
and his child’s heart
I …
of all such beasts
am blessed …
indeed.
