7.) Flooding, The Stream Beside My Crooked Willow





Flooding, the stream beside my crooked willow
It had, in cadence, overflowed its crooked banks
But it took me with it the required distance
Out from the common crowded journey into the light
And I laughed!

What was in me – an unmeasured world of wonder
Had grown so vast, I was in it on the outside, too
And the seeping through, a pouring out, and then a torrent
Flowing, in sparkling rapid vision, upon a crystal page
And I, nothing but the witless hand, that held
The spellbound pen – one crazy goosegirl
And I laughed!

Flooding, the stream beside my crooked willow
It had, in cadence, overflowed its crooked banks
But it took me with it the required distance
Out from the common crowded journey into the light
And I laughed!
