Poems from The Keeper of Sheep

1

I never kept sheep,

But it is as if I did watch over them.

My soul is like a shepherd,

Knows the wind and the sun,

And goes hand in hand with the Seasons

To follow and to listen.

All the peace of Nature without people

Comes to sit by my side.

But I remain sad like a sunset

As our imagining shows it,

When a chill falls at the far side of the valley

And you feel night has come in

Like a butterfly through a window.

But my sadness is calm

Because it is natural and right

And is what there should be in the soul

When it is thinking it exists

And the hands are picking flowers without noticing which.
