MUNIFICENCE
For nougth but day, the light doth shine;
Stars move in easy pace, to spaces bound;
Look not toward heaven, with sad divine;
Within the mind, there dwells, honed report;
Thy heart, cherubic as the light doth shine;
In this, the transience of mortal blight
Why searcheth far away, to places not of thine;
Here now he dwells , while amongst as afar;
A wasteful effort, an insult, the searching tine;
The wild daisy thrives in heat and wind,
Generous charity, for the light doth shine;

    Yes, why is there a need to search far and wide when it is there within easy reach. Well penned Gillena!

    I love the wild daisy, and your phrase "generous charity" very much.

    I remember the model of the FOLD--about the burning man--I wondered that I had seen this form before. I haven't tried it, but it is pleasing to read it and come to rest at the rhymes and on the folds. Not many carry true munificence, unfortunately.

    Is this Monday rite/write also meant to be a prompt?

    "The wild daisy thrives in heat and wind," I love that line. It gives hope that we can thrive in whatever desert live places us in.

    Yes, that image of the daisy stands out, natural and sensual, something I can clearly visualise.
