Little Tesuque Creek part 2


 where to begin

awake in the dark

a luminous aurora-like light dancing

along the skirt of the mountains


where to begin

the astonishing quiet

but for the shush of the Cottonwood trees

the creek

the top of the peak 

where

my heart burst open to the sky with joy

here

alone in this Place

my breath mingling with heaven

nothing between me and infinite space


where to begin

begin here
