Where wilder creatures

A blue grey sky behind the willow tree
Almost dusk,it’s neither night nor day
Bare branches wave in timeless ecstasy

From high above, a forest is a sea
Where wilder creatures in their strange haunts play
Such dark grey sky behind the willow tree

Seems like nature’s making a strong plea
We’re joined as one yet separate in our ways
Bare branches show  their timeless ecstasy

I wish  to  see like a  wild falcon sees
I wish to pray like ancient saints might pray
To gods who dance within a shuddering tree

O exchange places with a lively bee
With nectar, pollen, golden dust to lay.
Bare branches share  their timeless ecstasy

I saw the sea from cliffs above Lyme Bay
I saw the lights from far,so far away
A blue grey sky delights the willow tree
Bare branches rave in holy ecstasy
