Leafy-with-love banks and the green waters of the canal | |
Pouring redemption for me, that I do | |
The will of God, wallow in the habitual, the banal, | |
Grow with nature again as before I grew. | |
The bright stick trapped, the breeze adding a third | 5 |
Party to the couple kissing on an old seat, | |
And a bird gathering materials for the nest for the Word | |
Eloquently new and abandoned to its delirious beat. | |
O unworn world enrapture me, encapture me in a web | |
Of fabulous grass and eternal voices by a beech, | 10 |
Feed the gaping need of my senses, give me ad lib | |
To pray unselfconsciously with overflowing speech | |
For this soul needs to be honoured with a new dress woven | |
From green and blue things and arguments that cannot be proven. | |
