Spirit Valley
The knot-work parts
down this long leaf-lit lane
for friends who share a season’s walk.
Earth, roots, crowns of trees
the cliff-shale borders
become one shining sheath
wrapped in the electricity of change.
River-song calls at path’s end
laps them in water wisdom
of the flow of life and time,
sentinel old cabin empty of form
yet filled with moving shadows
waits moss-mute.
Feet leave no foot-prints
in the ancient valley
where only the walkers disappear
like bright leaves
into the welcoming earth.
A glimpse of beyond
mists the parting.
