Wilderness Poetry

Sovereign spring

A bushy-tailed tree, freshly awakened
Hair unkempt, unapologetic, unembarrassed
Bright-eyed birds were happy to make a home again
And all the branches moved, flowed
Fly-glide, drop-dive, in sovereign spring-hope

Challenging backpacking trips, zazen, contemplating the lens through which I view the world, and a love of discovering new things drive my appreciation for this place we live.
