"Simple Longings"

Suffused in simple longings-
a distance runner
Walking backwards from the confines
Sinking his feet in dust
dancing on dreams
heightening the experience of life

Baring bones and breathing beauty
Deep in mountain's mist, secluded
a muted silence
Enabling the resonance of
nightingales
A thousand moons enriching streams of stars

The wind gently felt
with God's embrace
His spirit congregated with completeness
Lulled by magnificent portraits of nature
Upon awakened earth in meditation
Richness wrapt in life
Peaceful to enter death's door

-he's already touched Heaven
