Camp Springs Pilgrim
After Chögyam Trungpa’s “Tibetan Pilgrim”
On the right, a ridgeline of cedar trees—
at its foot a fence post attracting summer’s wren—
is like a saint with a halo of bayberry.
On the left, a pasture rise lined by oak trees—
at its foot a creek, swimming with breathless life—
is like a sleeping prince on a satin sheet.
Straight ahead, a vineyard juts above barns
capped with ridged tin roofs like a lord
garbed in scarlet.
A young pilgrim savors the view of fallow ground
picks up a feather to balance her load
and travels on.
