Poetry
.
Nourished in Peace
.
The meadow nourished in softest
Sedges scattered amid violet milk weeds
.
Incredible flowered attractions
Incredible flowered attractions
Hosting dainty butterflies, moths and bees
.
Each patrol finding warm sunny skie-s
Each patrol finding warm sunny skie-s
Perfumed bliss softly summoning in
.
These many tiny witnesses for life
These many tiny witnesses for life
And too, sentinels diligently shield
.
Safe-guarding a precious new beginning
Safe-guarding a precious new beginning
The fawn a tawny velvet-coated gift
.
Sheltered by loving aunts, sisters and
Sheltered by loving aunts, sisters and
Mum over near the cedars, sedge and sun
.
She watches me in curiosity
She watches me in curiosity
Now a gawky yet cute adolescent
.
Quietly nibbling crabapples not far from
Quietly nibbling crabapples not far from
My sacred space on this prayer-filled morn
