        Orangutan Space…

        Perhaps as another life I was an orangutan,
        for while I may not tangle in the tree tops now…
        from where I sit in the easy-chair under the cave of maples…
        I mingle with emerald leaves,
        dangle in the whispering breeze,
        revel and writhe in the freedom of higher elevations,
        marvel at the blue-dome sky,
        wonder over how I happen to witness the expanse of this experience…
        shedding the captivity of boundaries,
        struggling to get the ‘hang’ of this moment…

        Thoughts flit like butterflies…
        focus splits like a kaleidoscope of patterns…
        ‘here’ dissolves in the treetops,
        and far, far below am ‘I’,
        a gathering entity smoothing out vast moments
        in the pursuit of order…
        yet marveling at the freedom available
        at the fingertips of this openness…
