Poem
“Simply Heather”
Looking through the heather
the heart of the mountain
turns to azure cool depths
and pools of water.
Climbing stone on stone
moss wraps its limbs
around moist hardness.
A wind sails over the whiskers
of a seal sleeping on a pile
of seaweed. Why are we so
determined to remove ourselves
from this feeling of awe that
surrounds us in the wilds. I could
write these lines again and again.
The ocean comes in to lick the
shore, and we are embarrassed.
The sun screams out beauty in
its descending pinks and oranges,
and we cover our ears. Why do we
complicate the beautiful array of
mismatched and untied strings
by tying odd ends together?
