My little dreamy floating-away poem. Short version or long version?
short version
breezes speak in the rustling leaves
bathe my skin with a thousand flowers
i see myself in the distance
beckoning come to me
oh lost stranger
I am saying
will you awaken too soon
to know of heaven in the distance?
your shining hair
extending hand
me to me
across the heavy distance
and through the infinite space
palm to palm you say
the loneliness needn’t be
the universe is spoken
through the hearts of lovers
all time and space
and earth and sky and God
are passing here
within the breath of angels
i hear the music of the grasses
alone in this meadow of the sun
sweet pasture of light
as evening comes
the world turns
long version
in the golden rods of twilight
in the gleaming air of dusk
the gentling hews of nightfall as i walk
the song of little sparrows
floats off in time immemorial
across the universe
and to the farthest places
we shall never know
they sing to raise me in my stumbling step
my feet bathed and brushed in the gentle grasses
the giant walks staunchly by
across the tips and spears
just one of us
one spear speaks to another
yes, but heavy-set, or rather, isn’t he?
the breezes speak in the rustling leaves
bathe my skin with the scent of a thousand flowers
i see myself approaching in the distance
beckoning come to me
oh lost stranger
boy here i am
will you awaken too soon
to know of heaven in the distance?
your shining hair
extending hand
me to me
across the heavy distance
and through the infinite space
palm to palm you say
the loneliness needn’t be
the universe is spoken
through the hearts of lovers
all time and space
and earth and sky and God
are passing here
within the breath of angels
i hear the music of the grasses
alone in this meadow of the sun
sweet pasture of dandelion and flower
as evening takes the greens and limes away
and brings the grays and golden browns
of rest
and the soon-to-be grasses-of-tomorrow
are quick
to erase the memory of my heavy shoe
in the passing
Sorry, the title is "In the Passing".

I like 'em both and I really cannot choose.
In the golden rods of twilight.
In the gleaming air of dusk,
the gentling hues of nightfall as I walk.
The song of little sparrows
float off in time immemorial
across the universe.
(Excuse my editing! Can't help myself)
and to the farthest places
we shall never know

I do agree you need a title but other than that it is a detailed, beautiful, excellent, magnificent poem! Such deep meaning in nature and the unknown your poem have! Keep up with the good detailed, beautiful work! Hope this helps anyway! ;)
