The Quiver of the Grass


the quiver of the grass in silent refrain to sing
the glory that faith and surrender destined to bring
no less than the journey of the stars
no less than the waxing of the moon
no less than the mountains capped high
no less than the ebb and flow of ocean tide
the quiver of the grass in silent refrain to sing
the glory that faith and surrender destined to bring.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

In Dedication to Gail
for all her heart hears
for all her soul knows
for the beauty she ever shares.

HI ROSEMARIE-
I can hear the quiver of which you write and that is so beautifully imaged above. It is a sound that only nature could create with a blend of wind and movement of fields of grass often straw like yet still flowering and proud. The sound is perfect and reminds me that I need only sit in silence and listen............
Love to you
Gail
peace.....

Gail, As I felt the grass below my feet, its marvel made itself known. I stood feeling its wondrous accord with all of beauty and creation and so these words expressed. I know how much you love nature's gifts and are ever responsive, so this is now dedicated to you.

Much love,
Rose Marie
