move 

                more than time

             beginning

             the sky’s air

                        falls into branches 

                                blossom  blue

                 the earth

                        gives back 

                        its fire 

                        into the wind

                        with gold

                        and green

                        its flame

                        turns

                        to white 

                        waiting 

                        for the voice 

                        of tenderness

                        to call
