distant Candles glow Their quiet Joyous Songs
into his eyes;
those growing Globes,
wondrous, Widen! : Clouds! aLive!
Afloat; arrive!
Sun-showered in Wine, this drowsing Day,
Her Hours for Dream;
'tween wake and Sleep,
Her Harmonies echo Seas' deep Lovers
to Night's secret weeping, flickering Mines!
(this Garden - mine?)
(I don't deserve thee)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clouds kiss foam mists, fill verdant valleys,
swoon to Hypnos' painted sprays of
jasmine-swath-ed cherry garlands woven
'round Her Eve-beamed face;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
weary wayward sailors
chop black Seas' uncharted turbid Air;
growing Globes awiden! Clouds, aLive! will guide you
disappear
your fear
for peaks hold floating, painted clouds
to show you
drink Her Air

Garden Mind weave; woven, intertwined, upon my baby's ceiling,
quilted Nightmares soothed, now hush his tangled, ach-ed, restless Mind;
their faces trans-ceruleaned, thick warm curtains, form Stars' Choirs' LoveLines
to lull black ancient Mines to Moondust,
flow jasmine juice: soothe darlings, mine
