As I Lie

As I Lie

 

Do I lie upon these verdant spears

And gaze unto the heavens

‘Neath the boughs of the orchard

Laden with the receipt of Venus

Nigh the vernal showers 

Upon the passage of Winter

How the skies now welcome hues of ashen

As departs the oneiric azure

Though, I be embosomed by this sylvan protector 

Sheltered of the coming liquescent nature

Permitted to appease my pensive complexion

For the solace of my environs so begets a fecund mind

Thus, commence I to ponder matters as regards love, and Death, and life

And whilst mid thought, alas! The rains dawn

Imbuing the earth ‘round, yet hither I remain
