Here the eye is overwhelmed
by all there is to see,
something between the
vista and the light,
the rise and fall of the land
the sparse lushness of the vegetation-
Between the hummingbird
and the blue pinon jay-
the jack rabbits and the coyotes-
my soul responds harmoniously
with the connectivity of everything.
The fly traversing my thumb
and the spider in the ceiling's corner,
the rocks and bone beneath my feet-
streaking meteors--the Milky Way
And then the awareness of
all of the unseen, yet sensed.
Here, I am with everything.
