the fawn and her mother

today i rode in china camp. we were there together a month or two ago. as i rounded a corner i thought of that day and looked down towards the little beach where we sat. my thoughts spoke out loud, "show me you are here." and at that very moment i heard a soft rustle in the leaves and twigs. i turned quickly to see a fawn running after its mother. they both stopped to look at me for a moment before continuing on their way. then amidst a wash of sunshine, a song of insects. i don't even know what kind they were, but it doesn't matter. i heard you.

floating, gliding, sailing
with the wind, the ocean waves, your memories
you're finding your way home where everything is peaceful
just as you left it.
and i sense you through all the things
that are beautiful in the world
all the things you loved
and i dream them for you
