Ode to Glacial Lakes by Manas MokshaTempting fate to reveal itself
ribbons of life come full circle
in swirls they parachute
like elm flowers
they helicopter down
and twirl in cadence
Radiant crystal angels
dance upon amber eyes
glazed sincerity blisters
in the warm breath --
spoken
Softly and silently
a pillow emptied
a feather floating, fleeting
cradled by gravity's cupped hands
yoking a bridge
A seed from heaven
a kernal of familiar tears
wept
swept
off the butterfly's wing
and to the open pores of Earth
Awoke
Again and again
flakes of pure winter
piece together a quilt
of springtime fodder
under a platinum sky
silent
Tongue to heaven
mother nature's womb
serves communion
Tempting fate to reveal itself
the nectar of life
comes full circle
