A Moment in the Sun


Standing in the summer sun
Feeling its heat and light soak
Into my skin like vapors
Of a dream, almost forgotten
But clinging, desperately for
Memory.

The green grass dances at my feet
And the Winter’s Run rolls along its
Watery path, forming, giving birth
To the banks along the sides
In the white foam of its
Being.

And my eyes are open wider
Than any day so far in my life
As I watch, I hear, I feel
And it is life that speaks to me
With hushed tongues of wisdom
Secrecy.

In this moment I am more than human
I am man, tree, water, god
I can fly with the eagle and burrow
Deep within the earth like the fieldmouse
I am love, knowledge, existence
Whole.




With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
