Meditation: Poem

Signs

And so, here I stand, startled by clouds and mists,
Bound by cords of light
Strings of effulgence
Tethers of dawn—
To the god of this lake,
Gathering his robes about boles of trees,
Dissolving in brumes and vapors,
I pray for one skyflash,
One peep from the ether,
Bread upon the water,
Amen and
Amen
