A poem for the home |

Hills

 I walked into it, pure reflection

it walked into me

drawn in colors of calm

in sway water soft hours

a large pine breath quiet air

follow the home

this space will sit with you

four walls and hearth heart

drawn up from the five seasons

to a soft power of place

follow a bird shape of seasons

the days pause combing souls mane

walking the land, home opens inward

we choose what parts of our self to feed

colors sewn here bring talk and ponder

arms that embrace owls calm flight

press and reply of sky in hearts eye

a place Eden yes, very deer and elk

lay back, let go

let the hold of home do the lift

let the pines and light, elk and paths

draw you in the woods

as sky clears and rallies

fresh water, earth open

we warm at a fire of kin and kith

the light sun eases pursuit

individual and whole ambition stares in our hands

with a face among clouds and empress hills

light grows within four walls

a pine time we'll call our home

and walk in delicate ground

where we blow our dandelion seeds

we found gather, we came to, here

chest deep water of calm

to develop vision, clay before form

the heart sits like a kitten in the sill

the sun ravels grace, eyes walk capture

caroling forest, our growing while

under a swaying boat of sky
