To Ee Cummings With Love... Poem by David Taylor

in high exalting
on angelic songs flying
(heart up so floating,
many births down)
earth beckons
heart defies
soaring high;

spring,

like bouncing
(with thoughts grounding)
newness,
hope
calling ever upwards;

summer,

flowering
earth scents
calling downwards
(many thoughts down
but heart up so floating)
oh heart so upward floating
heavens calling;

autumn,

chills
swept across
windswept hills
budded leaf and petals
like thoughts falling
and then;

winter's,

icy grip
of fear
downwards calling
but still on high
exalting
before earth claims
and
(as must, downwards calling)
to earth returns;

(heart up so floating)
in high exalting

what is;

what seasons kiss;
(many births down,
summer, autumn, winter, spring....)
