Juicy, crisp and vibrant.
I don’t need to chew your flesh
To taste what the birds taste…
But when I do,
I experience a viewpoint,
Commune with my fellow
Beasts,
And give God a chance to know Itself
Through yet one more form.
*
Whitebeam, hawthorn and apple,
Embodiments of abundance,
Beyond the clever ruses
Of the mind,
Teach us the secret to a happy life.
*
The more I read the book of Nature,
The more I know without knowing.
The more I observe the variety of creation,
The less I need in this moment.
