I saw peach light flow
Into sparkling silver brook
To run twinkling
Between earth and air
To nourish life there
With the fruit of the sun.
I saw clouds tumble roughly
Over rough hewn hill,
Drenching and quenching
With precious liquid,
Sustaining broker,
The source of life.
I saw limpid waves
Flow in silken grass,
To climb trees and rustle leaves
And dry the earth.
To lift the source
That it might fall again.
I saw flowers bloom of every hue.
Whose natural wisdom
Made one red and
The other one blue?
One living God comprising all.
Beauty, good and evil too.
I saw you there.
Of sun’s sweet nectar,
Earth’s rich texture
And sky’s cool moisture.
Stroked by the gentle hand of wind.
One living creature, one seamless creation.
David
This is my favorite of the four poems you have posted here, David. There are some really nice images in the first three verses. Sally
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to comment on poetry as it always feels so personal. Why pick holes in a vision? Thta said this has a lovely rhythm and conveyed some wonderful images. Like a much better version of 'All things bright and beautiful'! Beth
ReplyDeleteEat your heart out Louis Armstrong!(or Thiele & Weiss) This was beautiful.
