When You Arrive

When you arrive With a soothing wavy clinch Of fair autumn blooms Or velvety pat of marigold In the early winter dawn Clad in diamond studded grassland To meet after the sagacity Of grass widow An avalanche in me melts, Blanketing the hurricane- Nay, the volcano, In heart and soul In the firm flight of falcon To talon the prey Or love with equal dexterity and ease. The clouds in bottle tussle To kiss the earth struggle The earth with the heaven mingles Dissolving the hilltop swindles. In your approach The stars in elation smile With their eyes in glee twinkle Gliding in ease, the moon awakes From the blanketing clouds to grin The uprooted tree with twigs anew Days of light it counts though few. w
