GREEN HOME
This August light is equal everywhere
& tender in its knowingness
of time & our faiblesse.
Impartial good is manifest to share.
The little boy with yellow gyroscope
hugged tight by Giuliana
on a sidestreet in Ravenna
sketches balance, equilibrium – her hope
the son grows like a sunflower
to soar into some wide
limpid Italian countryside
(gold into golden sunshower).
A rooted pine on point of land
or evergreen holm oak,
each invisible spoke
of living soul is regal, understand –
an incognito King or Queen
en masque as servant
on this earth, blent
in a bond of I with You (unseen,
but felt). Substance of the sole command
of natural law (to love,
to love, to love) – above,
below – from Providence, Rhode Island
to an anchored grandeur on Pacific strand.
Whispered from acorn dome –
cherished green home
whose restoration here is promised (planned).
