Poem: Excerpt 6
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
