Rocky Shore

The new man lives in a world that is always being created and renewed.
He lives in this realm of renewal and creation. He lives in life.
Thomas Merton

ancient lake
spirit of
glacier,
waves recede
and the bones of fish
swim

to summer
shallows.

day follows day;
sharp edges
blunt

to anger,
to blue
sky

until arise
souls, smooth
and wise.
