Anyway here is the full. poem just for check:

"Out of the infinite sea of eternity
To climb, and for an instant stand
Upon an island speck of time.
From the impassible peace of the darkness
To wake, and blink at the garish light
Through one short hour of fretfulness.

"Body is the bodhi tree" - Shenxiu/Derek Lin; Shenxiu’s Poem... https://taoism.net/shenxius-poem/

[Danik 2016]

The story behind Shenxiu's poem is even more interesting as the poem itself because it relates the process of adquiring supreme wisdom. It somehow profundises the more concrete idea of the two doors in the poem by Amos Wells.

[Danik 2016]

Ai!An ephemeral life. In Portuguese "Mariposa" is the nightly equivalent of the butterfly, brown and with small, long, folded wings, that dies when exposed to the heat of the bulbs of light.

"Come and marvel at the sunset!". "Storm-Sun"
by Ruby Archer
https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/poems-about-storms/

[tailor STATELY]

Mariposa is generic for butterfly in Spanish I believe. I have a poem somewhere on LitNet (games?) that uses many exotic names for butterflies... it's a .png, .gif, or .jpg so not really searchable, same for my Padlet*. There's also my La Mariposa de Hierro: En Dios es Vida Pura titled poem, though the poem itself is in better English than my poor Spanish in the title.

*Note: Just made my .png, .gif, or .jpg butterfly poem searchable on my Padlet using the search term "butterfly"... Its title is oh, butterfly!

Wonderful language giving color to the storm. My first impression was that the people fearing the storm had been in drought and perhaps now expect a flood ? Dunno. Enjoyed very much :)

"Even as a child he loved to thrid the bowers,"."The Dreamer" by Madison Cawein
https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/nature-poems/ #27

[tailor STATELY]

AI: Based on the context of the poem you're reading, thrid is an archaic or poetic variation of the word thread.
​In this specific line by Madison Cawein, "he loved to thrid the bowers," it means to pass through or weave his way along a narrow or intricate path, much like a needle passing through cloth.
​It's a lovely, old-fashioned way of describing someone wandering through the dense greenery of nature." Enjoyed :)

Enjoyed the repetitive poem; reminded me of: "The musical song of the American Robin is a familiar sound of spring. It's a string of 10 or so clear whistles assembled from a few often-repeated syllables, and often described as cheerily, cheer up, cheer up, cheerily, cheer up. American Robin Sounds" - All About Birds https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjJ6vK12MCUAxVWkmoFHUinLe0QFnoECBsQAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allaboutbirds.org%2Fguide%2F American_Robin%2Fsounds%23%3A~%3Atext%3DThe%2520mu sical%2520song%2520of%2520the%2Cup%252C%2520cheeri ly%252C%2520cheer%2520up.&usg=AOvVaw2cBU4L6yvp--MNuGI__szM&opi=89978449 :)

[Danik 2016]

Very direct poem. Enjoyed the intensity.

Copied this extensive poem from Poeticous:
Haze
KEEP a red heart of memories
Under the great gray rain sheds of the sky,
Under the open sun and the yellow gloaming embers.
Remember all paydays of lilacs and songbirds;
All starlights of cool memories on storm paths.

Out of this prairie rise the faces of dead men.
They speak to me. I can not tell you what they say.

Other faces rise on the prairie.
They are the unborn. The future.

Yesterday and to-morrow cross and mix on the skyline
The two are lost in a purple haze. One forgets. One waits.

In the yellow dust of sunsets, in the meadows of vermilion eight o’clock June nights... the dead men and the unborn children speak to me... I can not tell you what they say... you listen and you know.

I don’t care who you are, man:
I know a woman is looking for you
and her soul is a corn-tassel kissing a south-west wind.
(The farm-boy whose face is the color of brick-dust, is calling the cows; he will form the letter X with crossed streams of milk from the teats; he will beat a tattoo on the bottom of a tin pail with X’s of milk.)

I don’t care who you are, man:
I know sons and daughters looking for you
And they are gray dust working toward star paths
And you see them from a garret window when you laugh
At your luck and murmur, 'I don’t care.’

I don’t care who you are, woman:
I know a man is looking for you
And his soul is a south-west wind kissing a corn-tassel.

(The kitchen girl on the farm is throwing oats to the chickens and the buff of their feathers says hello to the sunset’s late maroon.)

I don’t care who you are, woman:
I know sons and daughters looking for you
And they are next year’s wheat or the year after hidden in the dark and loam.

My love is a yellow hammer spinning circles in Ohio, Indiana. My love is a redbird shooting flights in straight lines in Kentucky and Tennessee. My love is an early robin flaming an ember of copper on her shoulders in March and April. My love is a graybird living in the eaves of a Michigan house all winter. Why is my love always a crying thing of wings?

On the Indiana dunes, in the Mississippi marshes, I have asked: Is it only a fishbone on the beach?
Is it only a dog’s jaw or a horse’s skull whitening in the sun? Is the red heart of man only ashes? Is the flame of it all a white light switched off and the power house wires cut?

Why do the prairie roses answer every summer? Why do the changing repeating rains come back out of the salt sea wind-blown? Why do the stars keep their tracks? Why do the cradles of the sky rock new babies?
