It was hefted upon a breeze -

It was hefted upon a breeze -

   As in a warm, flowing current

Through a sea of palo verdes -

   To search for an embankment.

That seed of promise -

   An implicit aster -

Was sent to broken gneiss

   To become one with nature -

A golden bloom to come

   To an expectant glen -

Not knowing how it found home

   Except that it did.
