Nature's Love

A marble stair pressing up The feet which press down Featherless beauty, a glimmer in the moon Water ripples around your name Your identity hides carefully within This seashell a dog brought me. Listening so carefully I can hear it: Footsteps from heaven to earth Releasing inertia with a sound Like the ocean fragmenting so softly Right at the surface where the snakes Coil around you and embrace you Reverently (in the eyes of God), Hissing and snapping as blood Comes to a boil - Ah, it's tea time!
