“The Little Buddha in the Woods”  

 
The little Buddha in the woods 
Hidden in plain sight 
Sings me into a state 
Beyond the this and that
Of ordinary time
Into an orbit where 
The messy entanglement 
Of nature reveals itself to be
A never ending symphony 
Of mystery, drama and delight, 
As long as you don’t take it
Too personally.
