High Desert Darsan

I am a meadow, in Spring
When she gazes on me
her sighting, her seeing, her giving of,
her taking in of me...

I am a field, with windblown seeds
softly settling here and there upon me.
I am a lazy prairie when she shines her
moonlight eyes my way.  I am heath.
I am lea.

She showers the Summer's rains of beginnings.
She floods my glebe in glowing golden rays.
Her thousand smiles fix upon me, fix me
in a thousand thousand artful ways.

She sees me,
I am seen.
All is verdant.
All is gaze.
She sees me.
I green.
I flower.
I melt.
