Simple Magic
Simple Magic, this moment, I can hear the marsh weep
for its lost Egrets; that haunting quietude, a cascade of guilt for not
Preserving it There
Across the still surface of the water, shadows pick up distorted lives
across its mirrored image, only the wind dips an occasional finger
to trace self-portraits, then Erase
Simple Magic, this moment, the world begins
where the Cattails Dance and the Butterflies swoon
The footfalls of Man still echo here . . .
the grass blades bend to wave instead of call
I turn, only to leave behind remourseful tears the
broken Earth parts to drink,
an intruder still, even from my distance
of
Breathless
Admiration
