AT HIS DESK


Something opened his eyes
and he saw the spinning planet,
and the gracefully flowing stars,
and the nameless distances
between things. In his mind
he saw small specks of lives
shining in grass, and the
presence of wisdom
in trees and stones.
When he looked at his desk,
he saw a coast
where ideas come ashore.
When he looked at the lamp,
he saw a light like life.
