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 tones 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.
(Milton Acorn)
