A BRIEF EPIPHANY
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
As the new born lambs did frolic
In pastures bucolic
Hills of green did conflate
As storms no longer could wait
As I unfolded my umbrella
Creating a penumbra
There was something positively delicious
About my meeting it was surreptitious
Those close to me were suspicious
So I had to be careful
Damp due among a nettle
And a spring daffodil
Near a forgotten fence
Waiting for romance
Some would say dalliance
Taking a chance
Among beauty so efflorescence
Suddenly it came to me
A brief epiphany
I did gambol
Among heather and wild bramble
Grasses so lissom
I could only listen
As the full river did Glisson
Bird’s melody so mellifluous
My excitement was ridiculous
Thoughts so sempiternal
I had to decide
Feelings I couldn’t hide
Time now for an
elixir
Thoughts so panacea
As the watery sun fell from the sky
And songster wings again did fly
A different temperature
Mother earth gave off such petrichor
The air filled with dulcet dreams
Branches bowed to me on their knees
As though to be evocative
For they knew I was in love
This secret had to have a closure
So as I waited, at the cynosure
My handsome prince did come
Twas there on bended knee
He proposed to me
Now secrets have all gone
And true we both can be
For together we sing our harmony
And create our family
Nature knew
Bells so blue
Daffodils yellow
Weeping willow
Life so mellow
Strings from a cello
Earth below
And heaven so high
No more questions how or why
Till angels call us and we die
We live as one
In love, as our hearts fly
