MAYFLOWER LOVELINESS WAS GRANTED

 

MAYFLOWER LOVELINESS WAS GRANTED

Mayflower loveliness was granted

As if heraldic in fairytales we belonged

In afternoons with the light filtering through the trees

And all the lost camelots emerge merge into one sequined focus

   the instant the vowed sun leaves off shining

Snow angels catch up the clouds to keep them from tilting

   Is the instant of the eclipse of love

But Divine Love redeems 

And carries the pageant forward

As the Child carries the one and divides transparently

rich segments of orange or apple radiance

among the party guests

Of eternity.
