SOMETHING MORE IN THE MYSTERY

I Love You

[from the book The Snow Child pg. 5 Eowyn Ivey] arranged poetically

“All her life she had believed

in something more,

in the mystery

that shape-shifted

at the edge of her senses.

It was the flutter

of moth wings on glass and

the promise of river nymphs

in the dappled creek beds.

It was the smell

of oak trees

on the summer evening she fell

in love,

and the way dawn threw itself

across the cow pond

and turned the water to light.”
