i slipped the day-pack off
my sturdy shoulders,
and, smiling with the day,
lay flat on my back
on a small soft patch
of green, a steep
boulder strewn hillside
stretched far above,
the slender seductive
gorge beckoning
below.
i gazed up as in an easy
dream, the clouds
grazed lazily across
great fields of sky
and i offered my puny self
to the wondrous
silent moment
and the tantalizing promise
of rain, a scent of
wetness in the wings,
nourishing and
freeing for
all that is
or will be
on this
amazing
earth.
