All finite things reveal infinitude The mountain with its singular bright shade Like the blue shine on freshly frozen snow, The afterlight upon iceburdened pines Odor of basswood upon a mountain slope, A scene beloved of bees Silence of water above a sunken tree The pure serene of memory of one man, A ripple widening from a single stone Winding around the waters of the world.
