Of Nature....6

For once 
I am sure
and in no doubt
or hesitation
that in responding
to this invite
from 
the soft rays of the sun
the clear expanse of the lake
the reassuring green
of the forest
I have only respected
the need
theirs and mine
to touch each other 
deeply
and truly
and my nakedness
is simply my 
willingness to embrace
all of it.

Stillness...2

There is a strange
turn 
when you have to
hide your blessings
lest they turn into
a curse.
You fear the world
in its jealousy
will turn against 
you
and so you withdraw
and withhold
your true self
and then there is 
a strange stillness
inside you and
outside
the usual rough-and-tumble.
