THE WING LEAF'ED WIND
escaping
on the wing leaf'ed wind
day by breaking day we vow
half-way & wonder to the end
lost to impulse all of our resolve
dissolves
love continues when the object chosen
leaves distracted into otherness
fog only hides the mountain from
our eyes
icy winter silence holds our vision
here within this sleepy southwest
village
love is the only reason we are here
our very finest dreams born of humus
earth
it is our friends & lovers
who portray us
we rise to chance to catch the ring
evolving each dance newly begun
leaves still on the vines
surrender to
the wing leaf'ed wind.
