The Trail of Discovery
View the stream
All straight and crooked
A hidden energy seemingly pulling
At a speed just barely visible
Discover the air about
Fluidly as it pushes
Against a soothing surface
Find the tangle of small willows
With leaning reflections
And there too the stones
Ahead on the bank
Slight movements
Gently mirror the way
Where water meets air
Within the climate of the calm
See the swallows
Skimming along the water's surface
Twisting their narrow wings to rise
Without a thought nor surprise
All these and more
Encompassed with robust depths
From within and be more
Within find One
All encompassed without surprise
For there lays the foundation
Of true discovery

ReplyDeleteYou know you come back to this the next day and you look at it from a variety of vantages. Writing is much like art, but it's a self expression.
