Canal Bank Walk

Leafy-with-love banks and the green waters of the

Pouring redemption for me, that I

The will of God, wallow in the habitual, the banal,

Grow with nature again as before I grew.

The bright stick trapped, the breeze adding a

Party to the couple kissing on an old seat,

And a bird gathering materials for the nest for the

Eloquently new and abandoned to its delirious beat.

O unworn world enrapture me, encapture me in a

Of fabulous grass and eternal voices by a beech,

Feed the gaping need of my senses, give me ad

To pray unselfconsciously with overflowing

For this soul needs to be honoured with a new dress woven From green and blue things and arguments that cannot be proven.
