A deep silence behind the word,
A gentle nudge — lighter than air,
A flame within a lake of light. A flight of sound in space,
A smudge of black, pregnant cloud,
A pair of wise, tranquil eyes. A god of life’s loneliest stand,
A portal to the boundless sky,
A drop of gold on earthen lamp. A lonesome man working the fields,
A beast preying with halting steps,
A roar of thunder breaking dream. A pollen grain — a tiny speck,
A dawn of comely crimson hue,
A mammoth figure rising steep.
