I am learning my lessons well.
Reflected in ancient tidal pools
I see how shallow I am.
The numberless stars say
I do not count for much.
The September moon casts sharp pine shadows across my brow.
It is so far above me.
Dolphins smile, knowing they are superior beings.
Eyeing me, they dive deep,
Demonstrating I do not see beneath the surface of things.
Even the sand fleas make me twitch like a puppet.
Nature teaches.
To be free, I must be free of me.
To make sure I understand,
It plans to kill me.

Left breathless
From a mid-day encounter
With the blue bird
I step forward through pines
Tall birches remind me
To be straight and true
Depends on my trajectory
Up there in time and space
Where the winged ones roost
Resides our ancestral home
From the canopy of trees
We climbed downward
To nest in caves
Now after eons
Walking in the grey forest
I crane my neck to see them
In small patches of open sky
Singing of love
And the science of flight
