Cold winds sweep over Contour steep forestry floor Can we sleep some more?

The clear light of spring Brings life to the forest floor Before leaves unfold

A precipice perch Dangling over the ocean Time left us behind

Keep reaching upwards We don’t want to reach the light Though we always try

Years slowly decay Turn houses into hummus And roads into ruts

A cracked reflection Staring back into my soul Unfold my weakness

In looming shadows Through man’s steady destruction The blossom holds fast

Keep working the ground Building up by digging down Shiny treasure mound

Old bridges prevai Road over creek over rail A tangle of trails

Lights lead us onward Drawing us toward their gaze A steady decay

Even reinforced Castles of blue glass and steel Can’t provide a nest

Between woodwind notes Blossom leaves weave twist and float Riding river boats
