espiritu
still
silent
ocean
dawn
40 minutes
paddle
leave the bay
enter open ocean
a turtle
comes to greet
all innocent
and then seems
to remember something
midway through
and dives deep and away
Was glad to see it's smile though
In the distance
whales dance
with peaceful grace
the ocean surface too
the ripples
a spellbinding blue
of a million hues
how long later?
engines
of peopled fleets
spew petroleum fumes
on the morning air
and a noise
which drowns
so many moments
fleeting in the
grand scheme of things
but was it not
that some tribes of old
paid attention
with every breath
and footstep trodden
for as sometimes we're reminded
and will be reminded again
Nature is not matter only,
she is also
espiritu
