blue aspens I have never seen
except in paintings I have dreamed
like blue ink on a rain soaked page
a letter sealed but never sent
and a forest wind on a sapphire plain
where nothing lives but falling rain
and blue aspens in a sunset glint;
somewhere remote, remotest sound
and scattered stars are all around
and I am lost between two eternities;
like music between the piano keys
slipping through just a few
angels convening from a far radiance murmuring
at last, at last on the Lord's sweet secret calendar
have come to pass:
blue, blue aspens.
