Today I Came Looking

Today I came to this woods looking for a poem
and this is what I found:

In the distance,
in the trees,
luminescent waves of foggy sunlight pierce everything,
delivering the energy of Life,
the love of God.

A bird floats back and forth and becomes transparent—
a foggy lumination playing in white and yellow currents
riding on the exhalation of God’s breath.

I won’t hurry too quickly from this place.
I won’t say I’ll be back tomorrow.

For this light … this particular tantalizing light,
is the face of Holiness.
