At the rail

Folder: 
book 11

Golden sunlight softly falls

     on the cottage by the shore

and the woman standing there

     on a summer day so warm

 

roof is batched with grasses dry

     and of golden wood 'tis built

things of life shaped by man

     forming all that he would have

 

windows made of clear hard glass

     framed with metals dug from the earth

there that one can freely see

     all that there outside may be

 

sharp hard corners of shaped wood

     beams of wood that would restrain

boundaries they do define

     of those things that safely be

 

nearby lies beach of sand

     where the waves do lightly lap

sound does call to those near by

     to come down and in them be

 

no warm breeze the air does stir

     cooling warmth of sultry day

of hot flesh in sunlight lit

     so creamy smooth and            tan

 

standing there gazing out

     forms of curves full and ripe

long brown curls hanging down

     golden lit by sun light

 

lines of fabric pulled so tight

     colored with colors oh so bright

some are straight by the weight

     others curved filled so full

 

bows are tied to restrain

     with loose ends to pull free

that would cast all caution aside

     freeing things that might be

 

gaze does cast across the land

     full of challenge of what might be

unto those who quest may take

     to enter in an treasured take

 

upon this scene I do gaze

     and feel the challenge that there be

stirs within desire to undertake

     of the quest it does present

 

to ascend to where she stands

     and of her challenge to under take

that I might rise into the quest

     and have the strength to succeed
