Beginning The Work

I watch a web being woven

It’s a steady start to the day

The dew on the grass glistens

As I listen to the geese

Fly low over the water


On the opposite hillside

Sheep move orderly

From one field into the other

In the meditation room

There is a breeze to my shoulder

Outside a wind rustles through the leaves


Eyes moving along the horizon

From the dark of night

To the bright light of day

The trees begin as pitch, pitch-black

Gradually turning, or developing

Into a quite brilliant late summer’s green
