Be it me here

Soft gaze and easeful heart

That I look upon the foothills to my back

Mossy knolls of varying heights

Some tread hard to near black

Another combed by spring wind

Dances there wildflower and clover’s luck

But by and by

Though softness yearns

It’s ahead the dream wanders

Towards the rising sun

Hard be it to hope upon the valley

Hidden dark beyond the jagged peak

One can wish, one can wish

Again toward the wandered hills I spy

Fellow traveller having taken stake

His body ease in comfort root

A babe in lover’s bloom

Eyes fixed upon their seasoned place

Though known within

The eye unseen

Mourns the hope of the hidden valley

Which path to chose

To walk or wait

Man’s greatest war

And so

To the light kissed morn I turn once more

It’s siren call too pierced to fade

And gift my life, my foot, my soul

To the blackened earth and mossy knoll
