Meditation

English: Bristlecone Pine on dolomite, White Mountains, California. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Bristlecone pine
atop granite spire- –
my perch
all thought
beyond this
a blur

I listen
to all things
natural
view things- -eyes closed
I feel them
filling me up
senses saturated
with tranquil light
smell, touch, sound- -wisdom
has no bounds
spoken in silences
deeper
louder
than any
cloud burst
can sing
I open wide
my being

A Spring Brainstorm

chickadees- –
all black caps
and smiles
darting, fluttering
the way love does
trees laugh
my heart soars
feathers
paint the sky

I’m all jasmine
and rain drops
kissing- -warm
my heart
