Asleep in the Bracken |
| Moss upwreathing petrichor |
| Broods becalmed evermore |
| Sleeping down misty corridor |
| (No one ever finds its door) |
| Among the moulting timbers |
| Threshing at the forest floor |
| I see all of thee |
| Where there was always |
| A doleful haunt presiding |
| Keeping all the secrets of the cairns |
| Vaulted boughs that score the air |
| Shelter birdsong and prayer |
| I know all of thee |
| Now here eyes are a thousand |
| Lifeless and descending stars |
| Adrift in the water, alone in her plight |
| Luminous spirit of a living light |
| Unnumbered brooks cut through the glade |
| Fragrant cedars of zephyrs swayed |
| As the shadows of autumn wane |
| And leaves contest to remain |
| Branches girded in ivy’s braid |
| By night the springs incandesce in jade |
