===========================
Ivory towers piled and billowing
living free 'pon cobalt fields,
spurn they all dull earthly shackles
their's the freedom of the skies,
there forever back-lit by Heaven.
Wind teased monarchs gladly drifting.
Liquid diamonds falling, falling,
careless multitudes deftly shed,
eternal brethren of the ether
an earthward gleaming silver blaze,
a billion, million tiny hearts afire.
April showers, misty smirring.
Tears of another spring a-falling
joyous to join the crashing river,
forging through gorges, narrow pouring
into vaulted caverns, ever singing,
ever foaming, tossing, churning.
Sunshine lights the river tumbling.
A misted rainbow's boldly arcing
cloaking chords of pounding thunder,
those sonorous echoes perpetual rolling
forever crash into wild oblivion,
down, down through caverns vast and deep.
Stalagmite, stalactite alone bear silent witness.
Cold mile 'pon mile, a darkness journey
'neath the granite hills of home,
hidden, silenced, lost in blackness
waiting in perpetual gloom,
praying, waiting for a sunlit succour.
Ever hungry for the morning sun.
Gushing, dashing, forth 'tis pouring
jubilantly to greet the dawn,
a twinkling, sparkling laughing river
a torrent in dawns new light reborn,
free upon the morns bright highway.
Swift it goes to wed the eastern ocean.
