An Invocation – Jeffrey Beam (b. 1953)

From cedar’s green featherscedar’s red odor 
From moss’s cool feverearthworm’s glowing 
From pitch-pine’s field-takingpitch-pine’s black tarring 
From the heel-worn patheye-light roaming 
  
From cornfield’s stalkingbobwhite ascending 
From the cardinal’s scarleta royalty before us  
From persimmon & appleurgent oriole feeding 
From blue-eyed grass in shadowlate summer’s Eden 
  
From footstep to cow pathmud pool & duck quack 
From goldenrod’s augurwinter gathers 
From ice cracking oak limbfrisson & weeping 
From beech leaf in wintergold filigree forming 
  
From rosehip & goldfinchthorn & bright needle 
From storm clouds gatheringlight darting through us 
From April’s spring torrentscreek’s roaring persistence 
From pond over-flowingswamp’s restraint ending 
  
From the word unblemishedrobust declension 
From honesty in bloomarticulate blue 
From granite to flagstonecolumbine freshes 
From cat-paw & wind-blowsoft goes the morning 
  
From Star of Parnassustourmaline greening 
From bluestemthe meadow 
From poplarthe tulip 
From each handshake takena prayer advocated 
  
From beehivegolden coagulate bomb 
From bottomland quietno petulant view 
From squash blooma shine 
From dog sleepa rumble 
  
From peril no thunderonly dwellings to calm 
From muscadine’s favorcopper infusion 
From mountain in snow lighta rabbit’s furred thicket  
From everything undera thistle be thine 
  
From garnet & hawkweedthe owl & the red-tail 
From trout ever jumpingthe roe of attention 
From pecan & walnutbread everlasting 
From collard & field greencanny pot liquor 
  
From bluet & asterconcealment never 
From wild carrotthe umbel of consciousness feeding 
From myself & from strangersthe friend ever trenchant 
From mystery’s bedroomlove’s tortuous wisdom 
  
From the formlessthe formed 
From the voidall-in-all 
From the patient rose bloomingthe perilous night 
From dove coo at morningto midday’s recountal 
  
From magnolia camellia gardeniathrall 
From dancing thundera ridgepole at last 
From solitudevibrant fortitude’s castle 
From abundant forgivenesscompassion’s great tact
  
From whatever you do or not dofind a meadow 
From the river crossingan island encountered 
From the spirit descendinga wine glass uplifted 
From evening’s quickeningharmonious rest 
  
From the secret unfoldingthe obvious moment 
From whirring cicadavelvet occasion 
From apple forbiddenknowledge abounding 
From the snake on the pathorigin & ending 
  
From sunlight through trumpet vineflame in the belly 
From tears’ shivering sorrowjoy reshaping 
From veronica & chickweedearth warmly responding 
From mountain’s re-greeningeye filled with blue
