> GAZING INTO MYSTERY
> 
> like scattered shaIn the gentle coastal sunshine, I sat 
> gazing across the circle, nature’s sanctuary.
> The eastern gate, defined darkly by foliage,
> beckoned me into forested shade.
> 
> Despite the crowded darkness,
> a branch of white roses bloomed.
> I wanted to go to them, to kneel,
> to know the dirt beneath my knees.
> 
> Though I had not moved, my hands 
> cradled the benevolent blossoms,  
> their prayer touched my fingertips,
> the muted scent rising into my breath.
> 
> Desire filled my heart. Still I sat.
> The wicker chair held my body fast.
> I remembered an age-old time when
> longing simply took me there.
> 
> Across the expanse, nose to roses, 
> sighing in ecstatic release, 
> throwing myself back upon the ground,
> an overcast sky above, rimmed by Redwoods.
> 
> As I sat wondering at the mystery of age,
> white rose petals fell upon the earth.
