Paladin stroll

Out, out

Rain lights the path

Of her, ahead, sky on

My cheek

Stride

Image of a gum leaf

Touches the sky in

Return

Laughter

Rises like drunken

Eyes, earth bubbles

Rain

They laugh

Spread peace, speak

I, the youngest,

Listen

I hear

The earthen universe

Laugh, untouched by

Humans

Pure path

Of light, soft on my

Loves heart, coming

Going away

Rhythm

Speaks love shapes

Speaks the sky’s rain

On a leaf

I hold

In touch of heart

Her leaf, earth’s love

Beats

In shapes

Of her disguise

Take form, materialise

Her place

Earthen

Eyes she’s from skies

Falls, rain, soft on

My heart

And upon

The path of her heart

I wander, poesy begun

From twain

In talk

With the world, out, out,

Find her the nature of soul
