The whole earth is filled with the love of God.
In the backwoods, the green light
is startled by blossoming white petals,
soft pathways for the praying bird
dipping into the nectar, darting in starts
among the tangle of bush and trees.
My giddy walk through this speckled grotto
is drunk with the slow mugginess
of a reggae bassline, finding its melody
in the mellow of the soft earth’s breath.

From “Shook Foil” by Kwame Dawes

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils…

William Wordsworth
