Once in a restaurant after eating
morning rays illuminating distant trees
I lamented my being, not in the forest amongst the leaves
How desire burned in me
a deep sigh I have heaved
from my responsibility, I longed for a moments reprieve
And not to nap or be entertained
To get lost in the embrace of nature
and to consider the creator of this creature
For in me and surely in you
a wild abandon does loom
To give yourself fully to that which caused life to bloom
but for me and could be for you
The untamed creator has offered a boon
that he might take residence in me and you
So I will rise and in awe consider
distant rays illuminating trees
and how this hear has deep joy in the Creator of Leaves.
