Slender perceptions, faintly hinted,
resonated in me all day;
visits of life beyond
those I am used to.
I did not notice them
until they reached out
calling to me, and then I saw them!
Stars shimmering
through the dark sunshine of the day.
A delta of light rose upwards
(even though I was hardly aware)
cumulus branches
on the tree of life
billowed up to a great height
(beyond my feeble attention) .
And then, in the indigo vault of heaven, stars!
Sublime glowing stars! A singing constellation
flowering on a vast tree touching the sky.
Another day is there.
A holy land where I live
augmented by you, my love,
with no form but
completely awake,
calling here, calling,
to an exile in a strange land.
Your message has rung my heart
all the long day!
