            Reflections On A Question Not Asked (James Watkins) 
 
I would not worship nature,
but
watch the firestorm
of evening Eden’s
colliding with collars of stars,
bordering the spreading blankets...
flowing....floating on mist.
 
Here deep spells
Speak to rising hearts-
Dreams failed-
Then flourishing in the fading light.
 
Many the meetings in mirrors, 
Reflection souls, 
Broken and healed, 
Sing out, hearing the cry 
Wishing, then wondering- 
Then washed by 
colors of the night. 

I would not worship nature 
but stop at the quietest 
whisper of deep drowsy forests, 
drumming wooden warmth 
lost in caverns, ascending in autumns, 
forsaken in fragments of the glowing day
 
Come softer than nature, 
in wounded revelations, 
In waves of subtle summers, 
in winters and springs- 

Come straighter and stronger 
on strict lines of deft decisions 
resting by quietest waters 
of heart streams 
that have come home 
to the 
fountain of the universe.
