Mystic Spring

MYSTIC SPRING

A Methusalean warp,
In-and-out of body time,
When renewal seems to split.

Soul conceives a mystic pair,
One, atop, with fresh tulips
One neath a burial wreath

This dichotomy cries out,
One from cackling, mortal fear
Unknown dimension other

But allow those sunbirds sing
Gather new thy hoary self
And accept this mystic spring

"Mystic Spring", we always feel its magic, Daver.:) Sunbirds...oh the robins are here, but so is the freezing rain.:( Do you think that the robins sing to help the sun rise? When it sets, they sing again. During the night they sleep and dream.:) Semper fid...love, Mikki
