It was hefted upon a breeze -



It was hefted upon a breeze -
As in a warm, flowing current
Through a sea of palo verdes -
To search for an embankment.

That seed of promise -
An implicit aster -
Was sent to broken gneiss
To become one with nature -

A golden bloom to come
To an expectant glen -
Not knowing how it found home
Except that it did.
