Earth and realm, Planets and globe,
Boundaries and borders, frontiers, the orders,
sanctions, permissions, mandates and consents,
the move, the change, and barters,
evolve, advance, divulge the canards.
Shadows unfurl, murmurs and purrs,
foretells, heralds. mumble, gabble,
the birds’ gully, canaries pucker,
pleas rebound, gestures gather.
Gorges, ravines, glare, stare,
burbles, babbles, whispers ascend,
eagles glide, coasting the air,
comforts, succors, succeed, prevail.
While,
tolerantly and cautiously, pliably and willingly,
the hills and summits, soils and trends,
reciprocate and respond, muster and surmount.
Sanctuaries, preserves, shelters and havens,
reserves and coffers, vary and alter,
salute and greet, welcome and sway,
ramble, trek, and trail, hikers and walkers,
esteem and observe, celebrate, honor.
The pace and steps, the leaps and hops,
rapidity and cadence, the lift and accent,
impair and amend, tweak and revise,
the earth, surroundings, reside and settle,
the tails and files, inhabit and dwell.
Arouse and stir, still—
the mazes and the webs, intricacies and tangles,
vivacities, sparkles, vigor, liveliness, fuse and meld,
flickers of dare, grips and bearings, the tads to defy,
would tame the wave, foment and ferment.
The sings and songs, carols and whispers,
tweaks and tugs, pinches, smidgens,
while, fiddles and swindles, they lose the favor,
depict horizons, skylines, scopes and fervors.
Preserves and shelters, havens and reserves,
the sanctities and virtues, emerge and surface,
miracles and wonders, engage and contest,
occur and arose, moments will ponder.
The coops and cages, hovels and hutches,
the egos, the essence, cognizant brains,
the dozed and snoozed, napped and slumbered,
discerning preceptors, sentient inceptors,
shall leave the shelters, will crack the shells.
Realms of conscious, urges and burdens,
bountiful dreams, empowered delights,
sparkle the palace, flicker the flow,
fruits keep falling, the falls keep rolling.
Shinning ivories, the coastal arcs,
do rage and crave, shall shine and glimmer
flourish desires, ascertain appeals,
the knocks on the door, would tinker the will.
Awe, melodies and tunes, bubbling springs,
shivers and shudders, resound the fire,
the center and core, the rings and the bands,
rejoice the hordes, reverberate the souls.
Conviction and faith, to soar and scale,
ruling and gauging, goaded and hurdled,
hovering, looming, state of heaven, bliss and rapture,
rhapsody and pearl, guarded and concealed,
solemnly within.
