Open Weave
by Ted Reynolds
Cast a spell
weave it well
of sun and flower
and summer's power
bind it fine
with briar and vine
and creeper's length
and autumn's strength
wrap it slow
with frost and snow
and gently tie it
with winter's quiet
and then spread wide
on every side
from mist and dew
spring's garb anew
