I am on an Easter break
From my Home-Made PhD
The sky is blue
The breeze is cool
There is still much work to be done
The pampas grass stands tall and voluminous
The blossom tree more spindly
There is a tall hedge behind me
Where there are rattles caused by humans
Which echo the birdsong
This is the half-clear mind
Which sees, which records
Which almost settles itself
Yet which always seems to know
There is still much work to be done
That is, to find shelter
In the shelter of I
That is, to find shelter
In the shelter of my own mind
In the shelter of mine own body
Yes, I can observe
I can enter the awareness
I can tell you that the breeze
Tries to become a wind
Yes, it tries to become something other
And so it is
So it has been for so so many years
Time spent in thought of something other
With heart and soul outstretched, knowing that
There is still much work to be done
