Poem: Come with me (the world I see)

By

 

Come with me

and see my world

come and see what I do

and what I see, too;

 

Come with me

to the world

and see it, for it may

not be there to see

the way things are

and will be;

 

Come then,

with me

and see all I see-

The sea,

The clearing sky after last night's shower,

and hills, green hills, that rise far

and where the deer are, and peace is;

Come with me--

it wont take long

and youll love it.

Poem: Excerpt 6

By
  Dawn lingered over the river,                     Unearthly hues dancing across The conical heights of snowbound ranges Yawning in pantomime, Shivering in anticipation Of the sun’s warm promise;   When the icicles melt Life returns To pools of frozen crystal, Once again, waters meandering down To the great, roaring torrent;   Once again, The soul’s immemorial longings cascade;               --------   ---------------- ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ From Canto 3, The Harvest Season of Love Songs, 1997
