ISO Hymn for a Green Sheep Year

Maybe this is the year that packs so much punch we turn elemental, simple start of water, walking across sky, walking with snow, soft groans underfoot - unfolding in white orchids, unfolding with aroma of lentil stew, sometimes stiff like a cold river making  its meander around alabastered maples, sometimes turning glorious into a verb, sometimes turning us into meadow of mud and moss – sometimes into moments subtle as February.  You stand agog with the hunger moon, still fluffed up in pink crystal. I want to skirt night's edge,  listening for the hymn that binds us. listening for the sound of green wood sheep,  bleating to the wide smile of a gray day. Sometimes the day rings deeper than our laments about Monday's forecast and daylight savings time. Sometimes we want to hold the ocean, yes, maybe this is the year.
