Notes About The Poem

                 

Musings In a Forest

"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
John Ruskin, 1853


~*~
Away from all the city's noise 
my body sinks into the marsh;
as birdsong trills of whispered hymn
I slide away among the trees.

My reveries in forest deep
are well concealed and hid from view--
with jazmines pinned on hair, and then
disperse like fringes in a breeze.

While my voice hushes, quite profound
I trace northwinds, balmy and strong
when evening spreads its velvet cloak--
and muffles any wail or blare.

Here I dream of family's lore
the Sunday feasts, the mourn of deaths
beyond the place where moonlight glints,
where field of life drifts...warm  and still.
