The
Sierra’s
Sierra, my love,
You came to me
As a ruby throated hummingbird
Shimmering in the dry, high noon heat.
Dust on my feet, reddened earth.
High up, above the sparkling blue of the Pacific
I came to know you.
So different from the soft rolling hills of England.
You were raw and wild and wonderful.
You filled up my eyes and nostrils
,
With your fragrant stillness.
I became immersed in you
And I loved you
And you became
My Beloved.

Listening
Deeply
On
the breath of an exhalation
,
The tide ebbs back
into the sea.
Worms slide
back
into the dark earth.
Rock pools left behind under the raw sun
,
Shimmer under the unsheltered sky.
My ears fill up
with Silence
,
Loud
, Deep
, Deep as the ocean.
An echo in a cavern
. Far below the surface of the earth,
Images come
, And go.
Magnificent and fecund.
Dry and surreal
, In the noon day sun.
Now my mouth
Fills with the taste of Stillness.
Smooth and even
, Flowing a river.
Silent roar, lost in Stillness.
An echo
, A heartbeat in the Chasm of Time.
