Nonchalance
yet a curious zest,
Strides
of a wild river blessed,
Brisk
and abrupt,
Obscure
with teasels plucked,
Faint
cadence of trinkets’ sway,
Dancing,
oblivious and gay,
Untouched,
unscathed,
In life’s
melee unfazed.
Tresses
in a glorious fray,
Ringlets;
innocence betray,
Casing
those cheeks flushed,
Velvet
patches with glee gushed,
Depth
in eyes azure,
Dreams;
simple, yes demure,
Of
time, of peace, of thee,
Living
shackles free!
Fresh
as the dew drops wet,
Reeling
turbulent waters, no fret,
Basking
in the shimmering rays fresh,
Easing
through life’s tangled mesh,
With
nothing temporal along,
Humming
earth’s serene song,
I
wish I smiled,
As a rapturous
belle wild!
