I revere you here, in the midst of the flames Which scald incinerates and purifies the faith, And hurled ash and smoke into the frames Where flowers blossomed before our birth. Which scald incinerates and purifies the faith Where you swear me words as we escape, Where flowers blossomed before our birth Sorrow lurks in oak limbs, safe from gape. Where you swear me words as we escape Where the wind twirls ice veils across hills, Sorrow lurks in oak limbs, safe from gape On flows set in motion at creation's chills. Where the wind twirls ice veils across hills Where somber seas race moon-mad tide, On flows set in motion at creation's chills Ancient sea-tossed stones once men reside. I revere you here, away from fire and grime And hurled ash and smoke into the frames, You and I are linked in a spiritual sublime I revere you here, in the midst of the flames.

I wrote a few pantoums. Always found them difficult but you wrote a wonderful one.

I really admire the way you embedded spirituality in the organic mind, through the panoramic sceneries and realities within Nature. Superb Lasaad!...ab
