(Contemplating the past three years of writing.)

When deep was my missing,
then deep ran my blessing.

When tempest my rage,
worlds leapt* to my page.

The green compensation
defied explanation:

blackbird phrases fell -
jewels sounding Stygian well.

The courts of light appareledin palisades of uncurled leaves -a succulence to tip retinal cones -

The courts of light appareled
in palisades of uncurled leaves -
a succulence to tip retinal cones -

(now halls of sadness cease to grieve)
I see all as a wavering world:

spring water wisdoms* over weeds and stones.

*'Leapt' is a common and correct (non-US) past tense of  'leap'.
*'Wisdoms' curiously, is an acceptable plural - but I am using the word as a verb here.
