Even clean air,
seen through many miles,
like in western Wyoming,
or the Colorado Rockies,
can haze the distant mountains.
I am out here, attentive,
wrapped in time's presence.
Ready for an elk sighting,
a moose in a lake,
or a distant meadowlark
making music
from his throne
on a wooden fencepost.
In between the meadowlark's calls,
in the space between mountains,
God speaks in silence.
I am out here.
Listening.
