24 IN DEFIANCE OF MAGNITUDE Jeanette Levin A hand stretches out, And with open palms And curling fingers, Gathers all to an expanded breast. Mountains, more steadfast and vaulting, Become specks in the mind. The trees of Universe are gathered together Into one small forest, No longer a peaceful expanse of soul, More a tight knot of young conception. No suppressed concerns Are left in our desirous hearts, The tangled undergrowth of reason Separates into fine strands of right, Right, so magically clear, We wonder that any ever stumbled Along this path. Great blossoms in imagery to small buds. Deep penetrable color That sprinkles even the rain, Giving it color too, As it rolls down the mountain to a sea. Greater, farther, wider, The guarded hope travels, Exceeds the stars in their blinding light! The mellow moon has no tenderness like oursg Faint odors have the flowers. Oh, hear the prayer That skims along a traveled way! Too light to hold a print They pass, si-eve-like, through a day. Our vision escapes With a quiet surge of feeling. Left a mind flooded with thought And spotted with tears. Washed down the mountain Were the crumbled stones, Leaving a clean and shining surface. Back on this level plain We find the trees outspread, The grassy plots look soft, And we lie down upon them. Then standing before this tower of mountain We find here an endless Universe. We have dreampt of a voyage, Will we ever return? 1 1 - ,W ---ru-Q, , .77 .-..
