fresh cut lotus

Fresh cut
Lotus, bamboo
In water
Peace
Over
Peace
Prayer banners
Discreet footfall
In snow
I am climbing
With these flowers and stems
In hand
To place
At your feet
At the top
At mountain’s peak
We still share
Silence
The true
Blood of Christ
Silence
The wingfall
Of a dove
At rest
In a maelstrom
