Mountains of Ireland

I saw you once

in the mountains of Ireland

a narrow stream dropping

like a ribbon of ice,

once in a broad leaf

trunk smooth and silver,

spreading your arms

to birds in their flight;

on the ridge lines of Oregon

green trees forever,

in vines crowding the street

like kids at a fair,

I call you mystery

but not to make distance,

vast and unending

near and far as the air.

I look and keep looking,

the sound when I find you

a ring in my heart

like the bells of a church.

I kneel by your mountains

and bow to your ocean

here where I know you

in the beauty of Earth.
