I LOOKED AT (New Poem)
by Tim Kavi
I looked at
water coming forth
from the rocks
streaming down
the mountainside
becoming a stream
a river
and then a mighty ocean
I looked at
the harbored life
living so small
I could not see
but still believed
becoming greater
swimming lives
across eternity's tide
I looked at
temples burning
incense in blossoms
of lovely surprise
becoming deities
in the smoke
that did arise
winged ministries fly
I looked at
my planet; hoping
for love to save it
some are sleeping
to garden it
to appreciate
Gaia's keeping
to nurture it
I looked at
starry skies
saw many suns
blinking in the night
realizing cosmic scale's
awesome humbling
powers; across the
vast cosmos
I looked at
me; and then You
saw a thunderous
glory in the meeting
of the between
You and I
face to face
in every place
where souls are greeting.
