BUTTERCUP IN SNOWI don't want to be flying around.
Let me find a buttercup in the snow. Smell the lilacs and drink from a clear mountain stream. The sun warming my face is more uplifting than a thousand words. I can't talk about it any more. The beauty is too much. I sit in stunned silence and breathe. |
MAD ABSORPTION
What is this mad absorption
Spiraling down and coming up
On the other side of the moon?
I cannot say.
I just tremble
And want to weep in gratitude
That God could be so merciful
As to bring the truth
Right to my door
so that I had to come out of my room
And see who was there..
This love affair
With every single thing
Defies logic
And brings the wolves out
Howling in ecstatic celebration
Of the universe
Dancing on my fingertip..
