Somewhere in the blush of life
Your eyes dance for me
Sacred polished orbs so keen

Still as death can be,
Unmoved by earthly tremors
Yet pulsing with life
Within its sliver of scope,
Wings spread, just waiting to fly . . .

At mown grass ever so green
To rest your eyes and know me

Tickled in their turn by life--

The presences here
Warm the time of their being
On my mind . . .

Sparking synapses to warp speed
Creating actions for life on paper
While the rest of my body waits

Sounded by tools beating tattoo

You come with light steps
As sweet as a morning heart
Alive to rise
