      Poem

      “Simply Heather”

      Looking through the heather

      the heart of the mountain

      turns to azure cool depths

      and pools of water.

      Climbing stone on stone

      moss wraps its limbs

      around moist hardness.

      A wind sails over the whiskers

      of a seal sleeping on a pile

      of seaweed. Why are we so

      determined to remove ourselves

      from this feeling of awe that

      surrounds us in the wilds. I could

      write these lines again and again.

      The ocean comes in to lick the

      shore, and we are embarrassed.

      The sun screams out beauty in

      its descending pinks and oranges,

      and we cover our ears. Why do we

      complicate the beautiful array of

      mismatched and untied strings

      by tying odd ends together?

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
