Brevity

As the trees reach to the sky A cool spring breeze whispers to each flickering leaf welcoming new green Limbs swaying, rain lightly pelting the roof and the grass The unabashed joy of birdsong, Rumbling thunder, apple blossoms This too is precious, fleeting, eternal, beautiful in its brevity A piece of eternity passing without notice Always before us if we quiet ourselves to look... I find myself lost here, at peace with the simplicity Drenched in the secret of love's spring rain As it floods my heart with silence, hope, and newness Then… I emptied my soul into the landscape That I could be filled with the presence of all things Reaching as the limbs to the heavens, Opening as the leaves to the rain In one small tranquil moment we were one, And I was everything… And nothing
