[ the kiss of the kites upon the skies
in the brevity of the sun's arrival,
captured, photographed
a pulse of photosynthesis in the expanding dawn ]
the whisper of the winds ascend
serene as snow and clear as profound joy
wandering out in the rocky shelter
where the stiff stalk lifts up its rose-colored beauty
the fragile bloom transcends the cool atmosphere
igniting the dormant candles in the riverbank-rooms
the wing of the waters untapped,
glittering crystals dangling by fringed greens
