Reflections from Wilderness

Oh, resist the temptation to be a joiner
You who came here to nurture your soul
To claim space just to be

The waxwings call you to the lake's edge
where waves make patterns around rocks
who patiently stand firm

They have no need to DO, content just to BE
Allowing the water to cover then reveal them
In and out, in and out like the breath

Oh, let the water flow over you
the miracle of breathing be enough
Your heart expanding with the waxwings song.
