Poem 27 of 35
Bells Canyon
Spirits in a forest.
The rain pours downward.
Do I take a step, or is this unknown?
Bells Canyon—not a course to be found.
My mutual approbation.
This sphere of light offers a ghostly hand.
The wind now shifts.
Eyes of the lost ignore the sleeping land.
What binds us together?
Perhaps Bells Canyon echoes the stories we tell?
A footstep lost, a footstep placed.
Where now do hearts dwell?
The seed under the mountain,
to keep the peace,
yet continues to grow among the eastern tide.
Rain flows in a downward spiral.
A mother's hand fuses with light.
I'll press onward and take flight.
