Clearings
In the clearings
Beyond the gallows long drop
Where only vultures may pass
A crow’s extended wings
At a time when all is silent
And the sun shine brightly
And the wind an old memory of a friend
Descending on plains rich with absolutions
In the clearings
Dirt roads lead to the midst of discovery
Yet tell nothing at all
A friend has returned
Branches dancing
In wisdom of nature
There is
But of one answer
All living shall seek
An end
While always in search of something greater
Greater than what they know
Never looking
In the clearings
Beyond the gallows long drop
Where the sun shine brightly
And the wind
An old memory of a friend
Descending on plains rich with absolutions
(2004)
