Pilgrims at the Sea of Galilee

ON THE SHORE OF THE GALILEE
Israel Pilgrimage—2006

A translucent rose glow
stretches across
the heavens
like a wash
of watercolor
as the sun sets

We are standing
on the rocky shore
silhouetted against
the placid Sea
of Galilee

A dog barks
in the distance
We hear a few
chattering crows
and the lilting chirps
of a songbird
otherwise—

          silence

We are pilgrims, listening
to the meditations
of our hearts
