And She Is

A return to the blessings of Unhurried Spring

she spun and the milky way spun with her

 raison d'etre

she cupped her hand over the seeds and the roots of the earth

and the earth bloomed

clouds parted and the sun warmed the fields

 dandelions sprung from the ground where she walked

and leaves spread their fingers on the hill

worlds i had only guessed at

made themselves known for an instant

transparent spheres that moved with her

whorls of shifting form and shadow

the hue of tarnished gold

lives have never been more precious and she asked

do you know     do you really know

and she was gone and left a void in the air where she was

and the air was ringing

and i do

and i would
