gaze away

as the light touches
the retina so our
gaze blesses or curses
order and chance
landscape creature
sea and others what
difference does either
way make or do random
meaningless passing
atoms satisfy the
unknown as well as
every encounter I gaze
over water land and
sky each day a prayer
with the blessing of
refreshment and
remembrance I shared
this view as a lover
deeper than any depth
tender as the waft of
a zephyr and a longing
that is meaning
itself
