Peacock Song
Secret lover
greeting morning
from flowering
window
a song
opening day
like peacock fan
lilies and roses
sparkling
ripping
from night
its equalizing
veil
uncurtaining
dawn's
new day
rosy child
play
maturing
midday
to adulthood
cares
trading petals
for apples and pears
with seeds
tomorrow
to share
rich fall harvest
one by one
falling
dry dreams
out
of tree head
essence of
branches
extended
towards heaven
praying
unweighted
by care
old man winter
dreaming
while rocking
four seasons
capriciousness
to end
a Sun
never setting
on a fifth
new season
of mild springtime
without end
with jolly old friends
youthful and strong
dining with Jesus
at His banquet hall
lining a hymn
of unending joy
now and forever
in love.
