Whither?

I am not pack material
In brown boxes
Stuffed late into the night.
I am not which book, video,
Third grade paper, wind up toy
Or wired cable.
I am the blades of grass
On the new mowed lawn
I am the ripple of bark
Under the silver side
Of wind-blown apple leaves
As the unrippened apples wait
Not for me, but to fall
Into the next man's hands.
I am at peace, I am still;
In the midst of move,
Unmoved.

Whither to, waiting
for words to surface in your
silent moonlit swim

Silvery and green
lee leaves wave goodbye to you
the sea laps my toes
