Cocooned universe
Space folded in on itself
A new world is born.

Somewhere, the dry husk
Of the old universe  breaks
Sweet butterfly world!

The trees judge all things.
Moral arbiters of men,
Breathing quietly.

The sky pouring light,
Cloud-blue, and indifferent,
Rolls around the earth.

Standing there, quite free
Shameless and glad, he drinks air,
The sky enfolds him.

Sky-clad, he stands tall.
Chancing upon him, in fright,
Woman and dog flee.

White and cold and stark
Snow falls in the glooming dark.
Winter makes his mark.

Gold and red and green
Blend with ripened things, between
Daytime and our dreams.

Salt and sweat and sun
Summer flowers swoon as one
Ere the day is done.

Rain and bulbs and sky –
Blue-jays and geese flashing by –
Spring-time makes me sigh.
