Midsummer

2025 Sep 12

(a hasty refection on Midsummer by Louise Glük)
you are my embodiment -
    all diversity

a poet wrote of God

speaking of us all
    as one
in the eyes of One
    who is all

yet our eyes fix like telescopes
on some enlargement of our selves

    in the field
bound by our time
    wandering freely
the weeds and the leaves
flower heads and bees
with all the atmospheres
above inviting simply:
    open and breathe
