up upon (Free verse) by the indign
up upon the cool grove wind
where timeless thoughts grow timeless wings
the butterflies can sing their flutter song
and bewitch the minds of young and small
but lost unto the whole and old
who bicker what they beg to do
following the precious tide that leads us out
'til over our heads, we can't think to stop
the dusk and shadow falling back behind
as we leap and bound beyond our sight
blindly falling, hoping to catch foot
never amazed whence land is found
just jump again, no thought, no time
up upon the cool grove wind we ride
while time stands still, watches us fly by
and bask the light that bathes in us
to please their own self content
