Intangible
CLOVER-TOPS
INTANGIBLE
Was it the feel of my feet on the floor
Cool and bare,
Or just the sunlight on the door,
Made me so suddenly sure
As I ran down the stair?
What is it that unexpectedly,
Like the sun
Catching at a blossoming tree
That has been in shade before,
Makes life and transforms one?
This feeling seems
Intangible and sweet as dreams-
Welcome dreams
That I have dreamt before;
Winds of young childhood blowing from
A freshened shore.
