Standing In The Corner Watching All The Stars Go By Poem by David Taylor

The vista opened up
and a tinge of sea breeze
wrapped around anemones
as trees rustled mighty pleased
to feel the air
as it travelled far
mixed with a tropospheric hush
that rushes past
as earthly bound it twirls and spins
to reach tectonic plates
that move as fast
as the nails or hair
but slower than an unrushed snail
as one slides below another
giving yet another wrinkle
to the earth's crusted face
oceans smile with sun's
reflected light
and clouds swim in pure delight
I stood transfixed
rooted deeply to the spot
as stars swarmed in spirals
through the vast expanse of mind
inhabited by all mankind.
I bowed deeply
and spirit rose up to fill
all space
with all contained
in just one corner
of Its loving embrace.
