A Walk

 

 

The hawk in the Arb hovers around me, beginning a new day

A bee dances among flowers, kissing them and sucking in frenzy

Two dragonfly lovers make love sweetly on the water edge

A baby rabbit bounces on grasses, testing himself in his first summer

I sense life abundant around me

my heart rejoicing, and I alive

 

On the gravels along the rail track, I walk

A kind of unknown flower, white, open wildly,blending

into snow-mountain like clouds in the blue sky

I am puzzled, but glad:

Am I on earth or in heaven?

Is this railway the Silver River, where

the Weaver and the Cowboy had fallen in love?

 

And the hawk again, perched, high up

at a light stand on Michelle Field

waiting, observing & conversing

only sealing the day with mystery, and I

have eyes fixed on him

mind in wonder
