Analysis of Open to a recieving sun
Open to a recieving sun
Softly swaying grass
bending in the gentle wind
Between the lonely
blades of green and the stars above
descend into living of the grass
roots that sleep beneath the waking times
in the fragile music of our lives
motionless movement through our mind
balanced between the moving stillness
wakes to strip the veils they leave
in the early morning amidst the trees
hand to ground seeds are sown
flowers spring from waking roots
open to a receiving sun
in the shades of fields of corn
Dances of light and shadow play
