CADUCEUS — 193 ESCAPE Bright thoughts, like flames, burn in my brain And sting the corners of my eyes. While in my heart the deep dark pain Of mcm’ry stirs: and pale ghosts rise To stand and stare and lift their hands In hopeless, tragic, mute appeal, Until I feel the hard, tight bands That hold my soul in walls of steel Snap sharply; then in upward flight My soul wings free into the night. ECSTASY Into my hands I cup the light Of sunshine,warm and sharp and bright, And drink its shining beauty deep. Over my body, waiting still. 1 feel the moonlight slip and spill. While all the world is fast asleep. Upon my face I feel the splash Of raindrops in their mad. sweet dash, Their slanting fingers silver-tipped. Into my ears I hear a sigh Of a running wind, as it rushes by And dries my cheeks, tear-dripped. SANCTUARY Within myself I have a space, A small and welcome resting-place. Where I can close my eyes and be Alone, apart, a spirit free. When all the world’s a dreary round Of people, noise, and empty sound. I shut myself within, and find This hidden haven in my mind. There’s warmth inside, and beauty, too. With dear and chuckling thoughts of you. And throughout all its blessings twined, Is peace with God and all mankind. I WONDER I wonder, when we’re far apart, If there's a place inside your heart That you keep safe, and warm and sweet, For thoughts of me to find retreat? Do you, like me, when we’re apart, Falk to that me inside your heart? And whisper things you dare not say When we’re together for a day? 8 — HIGH S C II O O A POET MUSES by Henrietta Decker LAUGHTER Rich laughter bubbles cool and sweet And flows a rushing, silver stream. Its beauty streaking bright and fleet In liquid flash of rippled gleam. Like healing balm it wets cracked lips. Gone stiff and dry with sorrow’s heat; And deep in barren hearts it drips Slow music’s soft and lulling beat. A WISH Above me far I saw a star That blinked and shone Around me stood A fragrant wood That sighed alone I wished that I Were in the sky A thing apart That I might see The mystery Of heaven’s heart. And then I heard The darkness stirred By mother’s call . . I saw her face, Her tender grace, Her teardrops fall . . . And suddenly It came to me How much I’d miss If I should go, No more to know Her goodnight kiss. MORNING The sun shoots arrows, golden-bright. In swiftly stabbing points of light That prick the slumber of the earth To waken life and day’s rebirth. The wind breathes music, strange and sweet; Then hurries by on winged feet To tangle in the fragrant hair Of tall trees laughing in the air. From chimney-tops grey fingers twist And curl into a thin, pale mist. Then hide behind thick, creamy crowds Of froth and lace -- the morning clouds. ( 10) OF COMMERCE AWAKENING A star came out, and in its light I saw the magic of the night. A su beam shone, and in its gold I saw the wings of dawn unfold. A rosebud oj ened; deep inside, A lone dew-drop had crept to hide. I heard your voice, and felt the beat Of wings against my heart’s retreat. I saw your eyes, and as I gazed Your love for me leaped up and blazed. I could not speak nor understand — Your life — a rose — was in my hand. OCTOBER A mellow moon, a sudden mist, A warm brown earth the sun has kissed, A wild sweet wind, a blazing sun, A hearth-fire when the day is done. A tall, proud tree, its branches stripped Of glory, as the leaves have slipped In rustling whispers, soft and slow. Upon the waiting ground below, Blue grapes in clusters on the vine, And apples red that taste like wine. The smell of woodsmoke in the air. A world that’s laughing everywhere. A schoolboy, whistling in the street A tune that’s young and gay and sweet. A dream, a laugh, a sudden sigh - And summer breathes a last goodby. REMEMBRANCE You came to me in glad surprise With starlight tangled in your eyes. The scent of night was in your hair In tumbled fragrance soft and rare. You came to me in morning mist With laughter in your throat, dawn- kissed; Your hands upcurled to form a cup Of golden dew-drop wine to sup. You came to me in fresh, warm rain, When violets left their purple stain, A strange dark bruise against your heart— While magic tore the world apart. You swept into my life—a song, A rushing wind, a torrent strong; Then went away, to leave just this— The aching wonder of your kiss.
