The gossamer’s ghost lingers long past,
The sun dial’s tock upon the everlasting glass.
And in the benighted sky’s cascade,
A dandelion’s mane the design has made.
Yet in the moistened soil’s base,
I have found cosmic divinity and grace!
For had I never returned to such a land,
My soul would be dust,
My body be sand.

I haven't read your poetry in such a long time, it's like a fresh breath of air. I love this! It reminds me of Robert Frost's work. Please, please, please keep writing!
