I am still listening
to wind and rivers
as they each speak
in their unique
languages.
I am still watching the clouds
as they beautify the sky,
and the rain, as it moistens
the thirsty
land.
I am still aging,
but growing in patience,
accepting the reasons for seasons
and the passage of
time.
I am still living a life
of profound attention.
Working to reveal the blessings
that surround me.
Writing, to share the miracles
in nature.
Waiting for more inspiration
to come.
Watching the long light of evening
spreading across the landscape,
spreading across long lines of the page.
Enjoying this small segment of time,
still wanting just a little more.
