Spring Cleaning

Uninterrupted emptiness
smooth and clean as Ocean's edge
nothing remains
all objects are lifted and turned
spun into dance
vast power reorients and sweeps
combs and smoothes
the refreshed and sparkling surface
the tidy tide receeds
robes gathered in dignity
jingling bracelets making music
the ocean is here not in its shells
but in its essence and principles
the wilderness is here in its silence
its charming openness
sublte and inconspicuous
the blossoms on the branches
are continuous
with the body of bark
