What lies beyond the blue and beckoning hills,
I hardly know, nor care.
Mine earth is a lovely green that urgingly fills
a thirst to grow and dare.
Thosemingling clouds,
the meandering winds,
the mighty sea,
bestir the bounds of my blue-ribboned haze
surrounding me.
I wait and wager with wonder in my gaze
at forms of Thee!
Flakes of sorrow glisten
on mountain tops,
like human hopes.
The Summer heat, simmering
plummets my passion-pails.
Ifret for everything,
the rain to wet my withering sails,
flowers and seeds to break their strings
and fill my vales,
streams and springs to flow like gushing jets
in my dreary dales.
My hands must meanwhile build,
my head should interpret
those dreadful wails.
With winter comes death,
when I try to preserve
the dead-wood of the past.
Unless I throb, the cold unnerves
my will to last.
An autumnal pause.
I shed my shredded fears
and look inward,
to choose spring-boards.
The spring is season’s best
where I bury my quest.
It is now time to bring
my senses to test.
