My body props up against a maple
and my head falls back to rest
upward viewing the vast sky.
Is it possible for life to be
this sweet and open even within
the boundaries of physical living?
Somewhere inside I think it is,
yet my experience has shown me
this vastness only in the natural.
What if I made an effort to find
ways in which our human-created
culture aligns with eternity?
