As I Sit

As I Sit

and contemplate

at my favorite space

upon a fallen log

older than time

scarred beyond recognition

in a nearby forest

full of shared dreams

spoken during moments

of anguish.

From where do you

draw such wisdom

O Wild Wind-

who subdues forest fires

with clusters of droplets from

a withering push

and as a windy current you direct

water to allow lakes

and streams to flourish.
