Nature

A place of communion.

At odd hours
and in unfamiliar places
I find myself in communion
with God.

Life calls me beyond
where I think is my home,
then I find my real home
in a new way of being.

My mind cannot convince
my eyes to see the glory
of the coming of the Lord
where there is not also
a thinness to my knowing,
and a stillness to my being,
bringing me back
into the world of nature.
