Fluid crystals/

shimmer on an emerald leaf/

falling slowly/

they/

splash to the ground/

& solidify/

forming an illustrious array of sparkling diamonds/

that/

tantilize my mind & compels me to arise/

determined/

to find that pot of gold at the end of the parched driveway/

abutting the river's edge/

I/

immerse myself completely/

therein/

fully desirious of being carried out into the deep/

away from the safe harbors/

I'd come to need/

& the arid places/
that harbored me
