JAMES CHARLTON

 

   Wandering 

 

I can't remember who taught me

to wander aimlessly,

gazing at things which shine

of themselves.

Mine was a childhood

spent bowing

to emperor gum moths,

spider orchids, jewel beetles.

Perhaps an inner pressure

led me to watch

and simply wonder

as things emerged

to find their own true nature.
