Through Mental Meadows I Found You

There’s a song for rain, a track for freedom, and more a
set of virtues. I feel you mad, sorting through woes,
to roast a thought. I love you with want, ever to fly,
counting wings. There we are, afloat a sphere, staring
at cherubims. How does it feel, ever bad, a rebel and
star? Something’s cruel, where poets touch, and
retreat gracefully. I’m reading lines, and getting lost,
but ever found. It’s your words, to form a diamond, as
grave as life. You till a soul, through dusty rivers, as
full as emptiness. I’m whet for nouns, and stern for
verbs, gripping adjectives; and there’s a soul, as fierce
as love, to grapple with adulthood. I infuse a dream,
to melt a vision, swift for trances. Time adjusts
futures, where hell must pause, to witness resilience.
There’s a song for rain, a runic spell, albeit, tired I am.
I love you through facts, even linage, to search a russet
sky; for moons bleed, a sun darkens, where we grog
souls. I’m challenged this way, eager for dryness,
gazing at shadows of hearts. There we are, scooping
clumps of grass, debating the arts of wisdom. I totter
with life, to silence a defunct pain, as candid as
possible. There’s a sallow tulip, to speak a wave, to
probe a theologian. I want for show, to hear for words,
to cringe as you ponder darkness; for a gothic stream,
plagues a soul, a cauldron of spells and butterflies. (I
find—a need for love, ever a phoenix.) Are you there: to
touch a rose and perish—ever to breathe? Our carpet—
is a board of chess, even a piccolo, or an academic tassel.
We’re in costumes, a grand performance, where eyes
water; but I confess, I’ve lived your life, where days are
wisdom, where egos are challenged. Colors are intense,
life is aesthetics, and every column speaks a slant; for
reality—scrapes a pavement, a soiree of troubles. We
judge, to live an ideal, where concepts are punctured.
It’s more a theme, to clog a mind, to compare with
others; but live—to let live, where one takes onus of
life; for a fiat follows: “I shall not perish.” This is rain,
a spoken quality, a color scheme. I love you art-bound,
found in yoga, debating contrast. (Whisper for lines,
channel for tones, and study forms.) It’s ever for
texture, a calm conscience, avoiding idols; for rain
pulls, a genre of graces, opaque to shallow depth. So
probe, draped in pastels, charged with Spirit; for shape
eludes, where zeal demands, a calm infusion.
