The Calling
Will you
come out and
climb with me
up the mountain path
hidden beneath the
dusty autumn leaves
winding towards the
bend in the creek
with the weeping willow
tree
where we will lay
for hours atop a bed
of bluebells resting
in the shade beneath
a sublime roof of
aspen leaves.
Then when we are ready,
with the magic of children’s steps,
we will wander through the woods
the red winged cardinal as
our guide
leading us deeper
and deeper into the depths
of the forest, further
and further away from
the grammar of skyscrapers
and concrete pavements
where mountain
peaks and river streams soar
across the sky of the soul
where shadows of trees dance
freely with long grasses of
sunny hillsides
where our thoughts
our thoughts are swept along
in the evening breeze
where the self dissipates
cultivating an interior realm
lending more space for more
thoughts to grow
where we strip our feet of
shoes and walk with the earth
warm beneath the soles
of our naked feet
In a steady stream of consciousness
we walk, we walk,
we walk to find the missing
line between our lives
where the entire weight
of the world bows down
to this very
moment
