The Rivercane Wicker Basket










Take the basket with you.
Pack it for a slow sunset
Beyond the pine trees

Fill the basket with cheese
Hard bread, wine and thyme
The evening will bath your glass
In gold and the whisper of the red rocks

Let your hair feel free, and your hands happy
To garnish your temples with desert sage, lavender and tender lily
For there is magic when the willow bush
 Blooms in May in chocolate scents and a sweet whisper



And when you find the rock
From where the sunset paints the horizon of times
Let the wine flow in the same colors as the evening sky
For in your basket you have brought

The gift of love and the secret tremor
Of being one
With sage, lily and marigold
