Here And Over There

How can mist just absorb it all?

Mountain, palm, and aged tree;

Oh silver-lit sky! answer his call,

Say to morning, here i am, before

Deciding to just absorb it all;

There in yond garden, an effort

Of blossoming peeps over a wall,

There 's sure to be delighted 

Hearts swooned to watch some fall,

Yin and yang fill empty whole

So how can mist just absorb it all?

  1. I love the circularity of this poem, Gillena, returning to the mist, and the ‘effort of blossoming’ that peeps over a wall.

  3. I especially love these lines of your fold poem, Gillena:
    “ Oh silver-lit sky! answer his call,
    Say to morning, here i am, before
    Deciding to just absorb it all;”

  7. Once again you demonstrate the virtues of your signature Fold form, Gillena, and sprinkle your cycle of nature with, to most of us, exotic plants, palms and ageing tropical trees - lyrical...

  8. A mystery of the mist and how as you say absorbs it all...I love to see these mists and how they develop into more than they are.
