land – Leaf And Twig

Affinity of Land And Sea

coral reefs on fallen logs
likenesses of
the ocean in the forest

winter stores diminished
the land still hibernates
suet is a kind of grace

I awaken
to a land
of dreams

in the land
of icicle trees
amidst birch

on the land
in the elements
for the Good

misty mountain
recurring dream
of the sleeping field

your house and garden
said the look
is on my land

Fields of snow
are harvested
by the sun and ground.

Alone in the fields
contemplation holds my hand.
Reverence is my path.

The days grow shorter, the land lays dormant.
Rest is essential to creation.
Winter will gestate Spring.

The land must be listened to
respected and revered.
Old friend show me the way to Eden.
