Secret

by Henry B Stevens

What I need
is always near
a leaf, a blade of grass
a patch of open sky

My mother on walks
would return with
a bird feather
which she examined carefully

And later would mail
to me or her brother
who also understood
the particular

and how the whole
could, would be
viewed from anywhere
just by bending over.

MAKES ONE THINK AND REALIZE WHAT IS THERE IF WE OPEN OUR EYES AND LOOK FOR IT. I LIKE THE THOUGHT THAT IT LEAVES. DLK
