Seven Times and Seventy
The breeze gently blows the hairs on my arm
and a sudden raindrop threatens a storm.
Left without an oar, I feel a panic
rising and my breath quickens, so I breathe
deeply and give thanks, arigato, for
the wind and the mountain air, steadiness
of soul, seven times and seventy, still.
