Signed by Life
The sun slipped through
Bright shadows come shimmering
A loving child leaps into the puddle
It pours the morning dew
Cleft clouds onto the floor
Where glimmering fantasies fall
Crystalline fingers dim
As fresh as dawn drizzle the night dash in
Wild swamp brimmed in flowers.
Frogs glide on damp open lilies.
Croaking below the cloak of an oak tree
Prest to leap on a leafy log
Adoring the old tree bringing warmth
The lilies soak in eternity
A signed by life affinity
Sets us free like the wind
The sun and rain sparkle in color
Rainbow paints the petals green
Frogs drink water with skin
Utterly dry, they hop on moist soil
The old tree inclines to the earth
Wind shuffle leaves rustle
Unfurling petals of roses
Swaying in the falling rain
Earth and water
Connected in a vow
To each a jewel in the wild
Both live to fill each other's desire
Empty fog rests on beings' entire.
Mirroring entities listen to the forest's choir.
Stretching myself to infinity in a dream
Time flows like elusive steam
