That Which Resonates

THAT WHICH RESONATES

Eating peaches, nectarines,

sun-charged from our valley's

finest orchards leaves me stun-

wondering, What's next?

Moving river stones in the garden

I can't count the rivers

yielding such hard-rocked memory

in my hand. Snow-capped peaks,

caves, along with summit approaches

for climbers.

Feel the water

rushing over the stone.

Feel your blood

rising to the surface.
