The Clearing
Location
In nature my mind feels clear,
When running water is near,
And some speaking birds I hear,
Because I am reminded
That I am never alone.
Hummingbird approaches glass,
Birds fly to trees from the grass,
Sacred songs as if at mass,
I am again reminded
That I am never alone.
Sitting turtle, flying dove,
Sent from below and above,
This place is not without love,
Once again I remember
That I am never alone.
Fallen pinecone without wings,
Red frogs love leaping on things,
Life for fish the water brings,
To remember this later,
I type it all on a phone.
