winter goldfish--χειμερινά χρυσόψαρα




winter goldfish--χειμερινά χρυσόψαρα  ©fourteenth



winter goldfish slip on redbrown mud
little trails of ocherlines left behind

smile! the new year's not too long away!

trees tug to rooted ground; sea sprayed wind
needles the eye lids tender

laugh! the time is just right.

Let Earth and Sea and Air be still And Heaven itself: Plotinus








distant trail
distant trail©fourteenth






Let Earth and Sea and Air be still



And Heaven itself.



And then let the Body think



Of the Spirit as streaming, pouring,



Rushing and shining into it from



All sides while it stands quiet.


Plotinus
