seven days
outside the gates of the city
by the water
where people had gathered to pray
highly visible
yet hidden
at the bottom of a long hill
by the water's edge
seven nations represented
listening
waiting
watching
a seventy year-old
a five week old
and the rest of us inbetween
loons calling
eagles soaring
ducks and geese honking
deer hesitantly standing
we were guests on this land
and so tread very carefully
in the spiritual
in the natural
so many tender things
easily crushed
if you did not consider
where you were placing your feet
gathering as strangers
parting as friends
enlarged
by simply being together
