As it Looked Then - ZaunköniG - 10.06.2007 As it Looked Then In a sick shade of spruce, moss-webbes, rock-fed, Where, long unfollowed by sagacious man, A scrub that once had been a pathway ran Blindly from nowhere and to nowhere led, One might as well have been among the dead As half way there alive; so I began Like a malingering pioneer to plan A vain return – with one last look ahead. And it was then that like a spoken word Where there was none to speake, insensibly A flash of blue that might have been a bird Grew soon to the calm wonder of the sea – Calm as a quiet sky that looked to be Arching a world where nothing had occured. |
