A Last Request
Let me/it, at last, then, rise, buffeted by sound-waves.
A spring begets a stream becomes a river raising tides.
A gradual, rolling rumble from few spots on the horizon brings a chorus for the dawn to sail its orange sunlight o’er.
The breeze feels like an echo of a cold too cold to bear, as the gull glides on its currents and the waves of winter light.
Each of us with tales ‘n layered lives to be disclosed…
Pied white ‘n dull-green ‘n shim’ring black, treasuring the trove you’ve gathered.
The fire of the dragon’s protest-flame marks only its self ‘n message.
