Deserving Of Garlands

She causes me to peer through twilight air I have patience to make out faint outlines She lends delight to shimmering ripples For I have watched highlights in her hair I am amazed by all the signs I recognize From an arrow's flight away I discern her swing and sway Elephant steps are like her resolve A blackbird trills her rousing dawn Rounding a corner suddenly I see her My stomach drops like a bucket into a well Whatever strikes me I store up to tell her All I know will be brought around to her Her talk and nearness planted a lens in me I am besotted with aiming it at everything
