     (amended from July 2nd poem – What is this? )

 

 

What is this are these?

 

 

  While days & days

        & miles & miles driving solo on open road

                   interstate highway

                   width 2 or 3 lanes

                stretched out  >> on-going miles

 

  times of clustered traffic

  times of reflective openness

                      centered on left

                      centered on right

                      the rolling green grasses and trees.

 

Thoughts in my head,

     come and go,  not related to miles

                      sometimes endless

                      sometimes slowing to a silence

                                        SILENCE is good

                                        silence is what i WANT:

 

I value the presence – this all around:

     the greens so close;  all around,

              on my left – on my right

 

          a single tree there

          another tree there

             each so singular –

               cushioned touch(S)

                   betweens


 

 

   

 

           all these touches

              with MY

                  visual reach and touch

 

       What is this now given to me?

 

      An answer to prayer

              (  Here,  just so here )
