Venerate
Susurrous wisps of cirrus peace
confecting in this honeyed haze
glazing paths with sweet caprice
felicities to grace your gaze
should you wander any way:
the dulcet drive around the bend
along the lento streams which wend
or up the newly blooming hill
or anywhere your senses will
drift off by day toward halcyon sights
or swim through sempiternal nights
delighting in some songful star
glorifying where you are -
or where you always could have stood
had you sooner known the good
suffusing world at every hour
tranquility in sudden shower
the freedom of a wildflower
the craving that does not devour
pure opulence of open mind
efflorescent should it find
some moments to luxuriate
in beauty's truth and venerate.
Look around. Breathe in. Relate.
Look alive. Exhale. Create.
