The light that is enough

Attracted by the light that is enough

We need not look for wisdom somewhere else

Wandering through the world so dark and rough

We may find the secret in ourselves

The sacred is as spare as leaves are fine

No wasted bud no colour in excess

So loving senses decorate the mind

We need not hide from chaos or distress.

The secret Life is here, the every day

This is where wknow the mystic light

Our tongues alone will tell us what to say

Our normal eyes will show us holy signs

for with our shadowed selves we rightly play

Enlightened by the flowers so wild and free

The sacred is on earth for you and me

The tree

Mathematics cannot say

Why the branches with air play.

Nor how the chilly winter breeze

Rearranges these bare trees

How they dance above their roots

Though they have no feet nor shoes

In the dark night while we rest

They dance to music ,loving guests

When humid heat weighs down the air

They dance lightly everywhere
