holding patterns
of ever-growth and always-change
married to shadow music and feather sky
by a fine-filmed pastor of sunrise
morning-moves act as guide and angry compass
tea-burnt and beauty believed
by every sacrosanct ripple-day
mind-lair
everywhere ordinary
breath-bane and
mirror time
existence

So beautifully done, encompassing simplicity, yet finding niches for incredible kennings; some of my faves were /feather-sky/angry-compass/ embracing the /always-change/. The gentleness & honesty & truth within this piece really thrill me; smiles.
