“On the Mountain” by W.S. Merwin

Published in: 

The Compass Flower, 1977

A wind at first light
comes out of one
waving pine tree
air river too deep to be seen
current with no surface
then can be heard and felt
it carries deep reflections of birds
and of sunrise clouds
thoughts into the sea of day
