Sacred Dust

The harsh summer struggle
Between the yellow morning

Night rains; dirt and soil and death

The rain from the ground was like the forest

I planted the shadow with my bare hands

Peace rains light and happiness

Quiet wind drifts across the mellow trees

After the approach to the mountains

The bouquet of silence

Greeted me beneath the night

The sacred dust above the trees

Settled upon the Earth
