3) Shadow in the Wood

I got lost in the dark part of the wood (the moon is up, dark— with the shadows in the wood,—): “Look dark?” I said “You are by yourself!”

“…come to this crevice, in the wood,” a voice said to me—; and now I’m a leaf on its tree.

4) Lima’s Intangible Garden

Laced with light, the Garden’s bright— which stands between things dimly seen—; the planetary morning’s sun— lovingly

beyond the orb of Earth’s sky— Shows crimson burning rays, beams of light For lima’s first light.

There is something about this garden I like —something in the way of watching it grow— grow, from a plot of black dirt, to something more. From seeds, small trees, planted foliage to: towering thickness, bountiful green leafage, All glowing rims, from the sun.

It has touched my heart’s desire: something risen before unseen; fragile--, only laced with light, now bearing limbs and leaves—my intangible garden, that now lives before unseen.

#889 (10-10-05) Dedicated to Armando (for once I write about something rising, instead of dying).
