one poem

what i want
most,
is to capture the whole universe in one poem
to encapsulate the
perfectionbeautytruth sadjoy of
the indian paintbrush blooming,
the delicate white desert flowers made transparent
by the setting sun,
the morning sun rays breaking through the clouds
over a bike ride side
wetland filled with birds
the smell of blossoming trees downtown
at night.

i want to convey my bedrock faith
and naked gratitude
that is the essence of all that i am,
in this one poem.
