"Live with me on Earth under the invisible daylight moon"
.

Live with me on Earth among red berries and the bluebirds

And leafy young twigs whispering

Within such little spaces, between such floors of green, such

figures in the clouds

That two of us could fill our lives with delicate wanting:


Where stars past the spruce copse mingle with fireflies

Or the dayscape flings a thousand tonnes of light back at the

Sun

Be any one of the colours of an Earth lover;

Walk with me and sometimes cover your shadow with mine.
