The Midnight Beams
Wilderness is flowering
And calls the cougar scream
Deep and interesting moods
Are felt
in the ice cold stream
myriad mushrooms
And
Mosses fragrant
among
the air we breathe
Gazing upon the butterfly
design
and the chimpanzee
Our conscience and our mind
The honey and the honey bee
What discoveries must we find
Silence touches tenderly
The understory spines
Balsam fir whispers fragrantly
It cries out to us to dream
Amidst
mountain ash and lavender
And everything we see
What about the clouds up there
That sail down to brush our cheek
And hovers over the watercress
That lavishes the creek
The moonlight is promising
To fall
Just out of reach
it seems
It's singing and it's sighing
Can you hear
the midnight beams
And when time is arising
And hibernations full
Eternity's beginning
And our history unfolds
Will we be living with thanksgiving
Or lost souls
Linda Giffen
