Trailing Aug 26 2019



I have walked with You in the wilds
I have tracked You
And You have tracked me.

I have resorted to old, old maps and letters
You have needed no such thing,
For You are aware of me at all times,
And I talk to You knowing this
Even though I resort to translators myself.
You make Yourself known
In code
In Sky and Sun
In verse I've stumbled over
In certainty welling up within me

In a long, long history of fidelity
We walk the fields of the world
Hand in hand.

I am Your feral cat
Your wide ranging setter
Your untethered pony
I am Your bare-headed girl
Who cannot stay inside the lines
And prefers the company of Trees
To the rich sanctuaries
Of whatever religions have become.

You are my Tree.  
I am safe within Thee
