From brook to bird song

  From the brook to the birdsong   
echoing the mountains
so tender so fragile
this ascent towards oneself
in the dusting of lights
open mouths
we will go
the white halo of mornings
guiding the shepherd
open hand
who will take it from
our childhood
between the rocks
in the thick of a vegetation
than the amble of a horse
will inaugurate
messenger of a last promise
according to a time of offerings
of frank words
on the doorstep of the mind
my little meadow tongue
my sweet friend of the woods
my unreason in Sunday best
caressed so many times
without breaking the antlers
and what goes up
the silence of prayer.
