Shields

Green leaf
outside my window,
what do you think
about the times
are you satisfied with reason.
Do you sense real grief,
 held in the suns' glow,
is there a link
between the clink
of motive wind chimes
in their bold dispassion
and the progression
of the seasons,
as has become a fashion.

Fair maiden sits
across the sea
and wonders about me.
In fits
and stirs my eyes have seen,
by her been lit
a song they've been, 
a call that is meant to be,
of tinted shields
held in the leafs' green
that paints the fields
and answers why circles bend
to help the rivers fit
the course that is at their end.

I love the complexity of this poem and the questions it leaves unanswered. You weave together the triad of nature, culture, and the fair maiden in such a way as to make the intricacy of your message quite appealing.

Green nature, mystical paradise. I see hundreds of trees growing behind the house. To hug them all so tight, so long.

Green being politicaly correct.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
