The Honored Guest




    

The Honored Guest

Outside my window 
An invitation to dance
Sways in the wind and
The warm hand of that light
Smooths rough linear bodies
Stretching up and out to endless blue where
Wet lambits of cloud
Catch wildly in the
Bony extremities of branch

O! To become once again
A lover of trees!
O! To feel that strength inside
My own feeble bones
And stretch my body
Along those soaring flanks
To drink the rising sap
And so,  loved once more
By forest glade,
Become the honored guest
