Mount Helena

Seagulls
Circling over
White-crowned breakers,
Below, black, blue-green infinity
At the horizon, curvature of the Earth, and
From behind, towering peaks, in majestic white,
Pyramids of nature, into the infinity of the universe.

MySELF,
The ocean, the mountain,
Dissolved the EGO, floating
Ever present, part
Of this world's great design

  (W.-M. Roth, from 'Before the Great Divide' [1979] )
