Meditation

Mark Fleury

Nature is silent, so as to compel
The movement of the sun

That, all morning, was time.
Now distances: the plush, moss-

Covered rocks and black trees,
Are dependent upon each drop of

Rain: brightening the contrasts
Between the colorless sky
And lime-colored leaves.

Rebirth is because of separation
From Nature,

Silent so as to constellate breath,
Concentration and renewal of

The trail, indistinct from rising
Steam, shadows of swamp bushes
And the buzz of mosquitoes.
Each step: boots streaked with dew,
Ahead of the last. Gone.

A sudden clearing. A coating of twigs
On the ground. Pine trees creaking.

Nature is silent, so as to make
A pure sacrifice, into the Creation
Of Sound: flowing.
Gray dust, cooling, surrounded by
Charred stones.
