trace of snow on stone

scent of mist on grass

taste of sleet on dust

drum of rain on rock

heat of light on face

breath of sea on hair

ghost of her in heart..

 Orienting

Smell of rain

On stone…

Sound of wren

On leaf…

Feel of floor

On bone…

Sight of him

In grief…

Taste of yeast

In bread…

Touch of her

On face…

Warmth of hand

On head…

Here and now

In place…

Stable, grounded

Safe…

PRAYER

  

To be fully

At home

In one’s animal

Body where comfort

And peace wash

All unease away

Rainfall’s caress

Descends smiling

From this all-knowing 

Mountain

Nourished by bobcat

Boulder starlight 

And tree. 

everything

 real

hinges

on home..
