Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

I Shall But Wait

The murmur of winds urges me
to ride past new moon’s seasons …
it’s not joy I shall feed on;  no, perhaps
a more raw wildfire: a glaze bursting in the dark
or morn of life as is; this craving to sow my girlish
harvest with a nectar of mindful knowing, of aging;
sweet-sour yet  somewhat delectable...
Then to gather new seeds, wait for grass and toil
in fireglow over hills and oceans, clutching all
the epiphanies that shall hold me together.
