“The Little Buddha in the Woods”

The little Buddha in the woods
Hidden in plain sight
Sings me into a state
Beyond the this and that
Of ordinary time
Into an orbit where
The messy entanglement
Of nature reveals itself to be
A never ending symphony
Of mystery, drama and delight,
As long as you don’t take it
Too personally.
