The Magic of Poetry

I'm in love with green trees
Swallow's nests
And swallows that chat to the wind
Windows overlooking the road
Flowers as the bees drink their nectar 
Butterflies under thickets
A thicket draped with dew

When I feel alone 
I am guided by a book
And the guarding eye of God

I feel in love with the almond blossom 
As dawn laughs
Or cries like a cloud

I feel in love with poetry
Verbal fields 
Passing through me 
As I surmise quietly 
How half of me 
Became a dreamer

And the miserable half
That remains 
Wanders along God's paths
