Lean Back

Lean back on a dead log into the trunk of a cottonwood

Look up, through bare branches into a deep blue sky

Lean back on a sloping slab of smooth limestone

Look up into bluestem and blue sky, don’t ask why

Lean back, into a wild, into yourself

Ease your mind, chill your body, warm your heart

Find a wonder, listen, breathe in silence

Be you, all alone, look up, look in, feel the earth spin

enjoy the ride, lean back
