You will remember that leaping stream

You will remember that leaping stream where sweet aromas rose and trembled, and sometimes a bird, wearing water and slowness, its winter feathers.

You will remember those gifts from the earth: indelible scents, gold clay, weeds in the thicket and crazy roots, magical thorns like swords.

You'll remember the bouquet you picked, shadows and silent water, bouquet like a foam-covered stone.

That time was like never, and like always.

So we go there, where nothing is waiting; we find everything waiting there.
