Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

The Path of ContemplationI walked a long path today. Off in the woods nearby.
My dogs walked with me, and took side trails on the
sly.

To write this panegyric of you.

unsung those
cacophonous notes
of omen, which

sombre elixir
of spruce rivulets and
veiled your crimson
touch of life,
in eons of unforgivable
death?...

once wrote for a rather large company,
the kind the likes to print up greeting cards,
