In The Timber Deep

Place me in the timber

deep

The trees will sustain

me

The wind will sing my

songs to

me

At the end of a day as long

as the shadows

cast

in the sun's silent

setting

 

Let the coyotes call to me

in the night deep

Let my path partners be

the deer

the bear

the pheasant

the snake

the spider

Above me, the hawk...

circling

 

Let me lose my self in

the leap of

the flames of the

fire

Cares cauterized....

Burned

away in fingers orange

and embers red

Anew each time I sit

with the spirits

of the air.....ablaze...aglow

alive

 

Yes, place me in the timber

deep

My lonely soul sings!

Revived

from the beauty

of being alone and gently

still

For I am never lonely

when

I am deep in the timber

 

Come and see me, there

with the wind and

the wood

With the deer and the

bear

The pheasant and the

snake

The spider and the

hawk

 

Walk the land with me

Witness the sun's setting as she

paints

the planet

with

shadows long and lazy

Sleep near the flames...orange

Wake to the embers...red

 

Place your self in the timbers

deep
beside me
