Impatient for vistas and blooms,
we direct ant prayers
to a trail of crumbs, and miss
the peace of cake walking.
‘Lean not’ is hiking code for
stand under the water
fall and cast your fate, upstream, to the winding
Source.
Rock sure; thrall the cliff,
and with a rose between your teeth,
dive,
for pearls.
There is no rush to God’s hand,
angel feathers gathered,
more or less together,
for the plunge.
