High Perspective
Distant mountain view
expands purple
white-blue haze of hue-
a clouded veil
on high country
overlooking plains
and tranquil lakes
surrounded by evergreen trees
intermingled
with cold breeze wind-
the elemental force
that carries, contains
sustains and comforts life
cradle to grave.
Distant view clears
to pale blue sky
and brightness overhead
as day lengthens
and sun moves south
bending light
as singular, curved wave
round spherical form....
passing meridian tide
then riding on
to greet the dusk
and quiet evening gloom.
Shadows stretch long
then merge and blend
in coming night.
A star is bright-
so ancient in our sight....
it guides our ways
redeems our pride.
We cannot hide
but hear
the depth inside.
