[untitled]

I want to hide myself from Nature

(I am not magnificent),

that creature of unmatched sublimity.

And as I remain unseen,

I will remain unseeing.

I have yet to learn how to see:

my heart needs teaching,

my soul yearns for understanding.

I desire such intimacy with her,

so I flee back to my sanctuary,

alone.

There is unbridgeable distance between us.

A terrible desire to be one

with what have become my surroundings.

union,

indwelling,
community

(but with existence itself).
