All Of This, And More! Poem by Eric Cockrell

the color in the stone,
the green in the grass.
the language of the wind
whispering through the trees....

the mountains that listen in stillness.
the baby's mouth, eyes follow suit,
the thundering wings of the moth,
majestic in flight.

the bleet of the sheep,
the low growl of the bear.
the rhythm of the water,
pounding the shore....

the moan of the lover,
universal and primitive.
the scent of the rain,
just before it comes!

the fit of the light
in the darkness of empty,
the lips on my heart,
sucking the fire from my blood.

all of this, and more!
