Horizons of the Meadows

Horizons of the pastures, paddock’s fences,
stalls to corral, the sheds and coops,
waver and shutter, or, quiver and tremble.
Obscurity and oblivion, opacity and ambiguity,
to condense and congeal, or, faint and diffuse.
Storms’ eyes, zapping calms, descending sooth,
sneak and creep, and tiptoe and slip—
Stretches, expanses, and springs,
the leaps, jumps, and founts,
mesmerize, enthrall, and absorb.
Sparkles and energy, vigor and dynamism,
the movements and drives,
bloom and thrive, glow and blossom.
The contents, substances, body and gist, the nub and soul,
relieve and settle, resolve and ease.
To join and link, fasten and bond,
to touch and reach, the voices and sings,
lyrics and speeches, the surfing winds,
compromise and distill, to heal the broken wings.
Awakening valleys, wide and stretched,
bushes and shrubs, wilds and scrubs,
is it the murmur of the falling rain dews,
or, the soaring eagles expedition clues.
While, the bashful and reserved,
The timid and timorous flowers,
swing the flow, swipe the surface.
The hide and seek, teasers and jives,
the mysteries and riddles, proclaim and declare;
No and never—
the birds and fowls, whispers and murmurs,
hisses and utters, or, jeers and mutters,
have been seen to wobble, or mold to tremble.
Fulfil the urges, foresee the merges,
the joy and success, forbid the edges,
the rays and gleams, sparks and the hints,
are meant to pass by, catch them to survive.
Bounties and expanses, moments and the stances,
imminent marches, sequels and upshots,
Munificent moments and instants, joins and junctures,
forgive the sorrows, conceal the narrows.
Occasions and passes, reveal and bolster,
the destiny and fate, mesmerize, captivate, and holster,
while, the train and the convoy, exert, exercise, and wield.
