At The Gateway of America
You tossed the I-Ching
and I the servant
of the master
entered out of the door with you.
I laughed,
and knew again
of trees and grass
and human warmth.
You,
Who played
and were anew
the breath of awed perception,
Oh Beauty-of-Narcissus-Bloom
Holding that single stock
be one with the uncluttered
simplicity-of-spring;
While I
As an unobstructed flow
Am mingled with my Mother
the mud
the earth
and sky.
