Breeze

Around the legs
Of the newly painted garden chair
Around the legs
Of the man now in shorts again
After sixty years of long trousers

Around and through
The trees of the old orchard
Around and through (almost)
The ageing overgrown pampas grass
And the recently planted silver birch

Over and below
The aeroplanes and the helicopters
Over and below
The few cotton strands of clouds
And the vast expanse of clear blue sky

In front of and behind
The face and head of the meditator
In front of and behind
The curly locks of one who contemplates
And says thanks says many thanks for the morning breeze
