Tree silhouettes tip toeing
to the skies while the quietness envelopes
the wilderness once more
no brilliant hues needed
to get to the point the day this day
is coming to an end
where you may find
yourself connecting the dots to the hours (more…)
The day drifts
deeper into the almost night the last hints
of light stretching their stay the cusp of the final glimmer
before twilight where there is the simple
slowing of my thoughts (more…)
Indeed the middle I walked
right to listening carefully
with each ear noticing
no high pitch tire sounds coming toward me
I laid down on my stomach nose close to the line
looking over the intricacies (more…)
Sloppy sticky goop slogging
muck covered up when the moon
demands the tide up looking
out the harshness fades my eyes relax
no more squinting today no more
shallow breaths no more fear (more…)
One foot than another
synchronized
to the beat of life’s musical number
crunching
with the leaves and gravel below
waking me (more…)
