An Invocation – Jeffrey Beam (b. 1953)

From cedar’s green feathers	cedar’s red odor
From moss’s cool fever	earthworm’s glowing
From pitch-pine’s field-taking	pitch-pine’s black tarring
From the heel-worn path	eye-light roaming
From cornfield’s stalking	bobwhite ascending
From the cardinal’s scarlet	a royalty before us
From persimmon & apple	urgent oriole feeding
From blue-eyed grass in shadow	late summer’s Eden
From footstep to cow path	mud pool & duck quack
From goldenrod’s augur	winter gathers
From ice cracking oak limb	frisson & weeping
From beech leaf in winter	gold filigree forming
From rosehip & goldfinch	thorn & bright needle
From storm clouds gathering	light darting through us
From April’s spring torrents	creek’s roaring persistence
From pond over-flowing	swamp’s restraint ending
From the word unblemished	robust declension
From honesty in bloom	articulate blue
From granite to flagstone	columbine freshes
From cat-paw & wind-blow	soft goes the morning
From Star of Parnassus	tourmaline greening
From bluestem	the meadow
From poplar	the tulip
From each handshake taken	a prayer advocated
From beehive	golden coagulate bomb
From bottomland quiet	no petulant view
From squash bloom	a shine
From dog sleep	a rumble
From peril no thunder	only dwellings to calm
From muscadine’s favor	copper infusion
From mountain in snow light	a rabbit’s furred thicket
From everything under	a thistle be thine
From garnet & hawkweed	the owl & the red-tail
From trout ever jumping	the roe of attention
From pecan & walnut	bread everlasting
From collard & field green	canny pot liquor
From bluet & aster	concealment never
From wild carrot	the umbel of consciousness feeding
From myself & from strangers	the friend ever trenchant
From mystery’s bedroom	love’s tortuous wisdom
From the formless	the formed
From the void	all-in-all
From the patient rose blooming	the perilous night
From dove coo at morning	to midday’s recountal
From magnolia camellia gardenia	thrall
From dancing thunder	a ridgepole at last
From solitude	vibrant fortitude’s castle
From abundant forgiveness	compassion’s great tact
From whatever you do or not do	find a meadow
From the river crossing	an island encountered
From the spirit descending	a wine glass uplifted
From evening’s quickening	harmonious rest
From the secret unfolding	the obvious moment
From whirring cicada	velvet occasion
From apple forbidden	knowledge abounding
From the snake on the path	origin & ending
From sunlight through trumpet vine	flame in the belly
From tears’ shivering sorrow	joy reshaping
From veronica & chickweed	earth warmly responding
From mountain’s re-greening	eye filled with blue
