and waste ten thousand nights
before I dream;
but when at last...
I soar the...

of sacred birdsong voices?
How is this memory

your internal intimate Sacred EarthMother's Song?

Beneath the Oak TreeI kneel to pray beneath an oak tree’s leaves,
where my journey began.
Broken limbs straggle over a patchy lawn,
a neglected place full of holes,
shoveled from childhood memories.
I bow at the altar of the tall oak.
Days...

I hear you calling me
I feel you on the wind

Grazing my cheek
With kiss’s shadow
Upon your distant shores
Perched on craggy rocks
Upon sunlit parched cliffs
I receive you
I feel the whispers
Of the past

There is an eventuality as respects mankind
and the beast...as the one dies, so the other...
so that the one [has] no superiority over the other,
both are destined to the same end.

The View From a WindowA view of the ragged woodland from
The window:-
Slender branched trees that shed
From high above to low below;
The faint, mauven peaks
Smattered with barely visible
Scatterings of drifted snow;

Leaves
Whose rusting...

Can you feel it?
And in the aftermath,
You can hear...
