Mervyn Linford - Poet   
NATURE - SPIRITUAL - LOVE

 

Becoming.

Some days are calm and warm - the summer clouds
Accumulate on high and thoughts of thunder
Fill the humid air. The cabbage-whites are crowded

In the mind - like flakes of light - unconscious
Of the shade: genetic spirals. The helix
Of the sun breaks through the sky -
                                 Where gold's embossed

On blue and cumuli - and bees remix
The acids of the flowers. Blackbirds - moss
And roses know the code - where songs transfix

The fragrance and the heat - and green is power.
My thoughts divide from logic into wonder -
As all the traits of this determined hour

Pass on beyond all science and its tricks
Towards the sacred garden - of our loss.
