A lone rock with sails of snow set out on a journey one day.
It came upon wondrous new surroundings
even though it stood still in its travels,
for the cloud-patterned sky, scents on the wind,
a flash of birds and fish, and the determined tide
all passed closely by.

Where does the sky end and the water begin?
Where does our life fit into the grand scheme of things?
Do the details matter or is the inherent beauty of what lies before us,
incomprehensible or not, what truly counts?

On some uneventful evening you might step out onto your deck,
look above your head and see nine celestial moths
orbiting a porch-light sun in a pine board sky.
