A Beret in the Forest

A Beret in the Forest

Magick makes nature
Bohemian
As well as wild
So nature enters
Its own paradise.

My new  bronze
Meditation figure
Of Cernunnos
With a shepherds crook
Protects a larger flock
Than just sheep
As traditions merge
And leaves become
Emeralds of light.

A wise woman
Scatters sapphires
In stream, lake,
Even sky
And heliodore and ruby
Petaled flowers.

Eyes enjoy all this
Witout being
Caught and prisoned
By a too strong craving
Instead of going
To the next experience.

Halted jewels
Slowly become dull.

Wolf, owl, deer
See more
Than they saw before,
Hear more
Than they heard before,
Feel more
Than they felt before,
But still nature,
Only more profound.
