The creation of plants and other things

through the harmony of northern flora

by the yellow half-moon and the blue star

you show me the way to the ship

in a gaze of silence

there will be fire in the evening

lit by the forest witches

leading us to catharsis

and harmonised disturbance

as the red-green and violet yellow rhythms

release in us the memory of a bird

twilight flowers and sacred islands

before the snow or threatening snowstorm

when God considered the creation of plants

and you became my angel in the making

(after Paul Klee)
