Looking At Wild Cherry Trees

not that words will always fail,
but why does the tongue insist
that language with syllables and consonants
is able and willing to test
what should only be known as divine?

this fullness of emptiness
is normal 
at best
when just short of understanding.

not teasing time
to query the essence of source,
but holding wonder
at the shape of creation’s outcomes.

so I hold this as ambition…
to be a partner in silence
to treasure this alibi of form.
