Meditations
let the wings of blackbirds,
the call of mourning doves,
be letters to you;
words can fail but not the self,
opening to life and beauty like the
energy of a mountain stream,
visible within momentary forms;
the rocks and the heavens
know the stream in transcendent ways
limitless and true,
the lonely passion of purpose
within perpetual change
