Don't Forget To Dally...

Don’t forget to dally

Where the valley brims

With the sacred sally

Of un-tallied hymns

Don’t forget to savor

The flavor of rays

Soon its golden favor

Fades to yesterdays

Don’t forget to wander

Over yonder There

Freely, holy, squander

Wonder like a prayer

Don’t forget to listen

…the wooing of hours

Glistens in green bracken

And chicory flowers

Don’t forget to linger

Where earth’s lure is cast

Laden with bloom valor

On the fringe of Past

Don’t forget to dally

Pink-green-purple mirth

Falls prey to the daily

Undoing of earth
