I am my home

I am
Granite
Moss
Grain
Ocean
River
Rain

Hacked and carved
from blue grey granite
cloaked and cushioned in moss

the deep dug roots of twisted trees
reach down in the dark of my bones

ocean air bends branches down
clutching at my hair,
but still, I am not there.

Aware of the flow of rivers,
the wide slow curve of the river,
through green and rolling hills,
I am swept away to another place
to rest in fields of grain.

My spirit wanders far from home.
I fall in summer rain

The Well in the Wood

i have seen this well in the wood, long ago
my dreams are hid in its moss covered walls
treasures I secretly left there before
its slippery sides plunge down to dark depths
where water is constantly dripping
drip, drip, dripping,
into my thoughts

aware of the trees leaning over
dropping their leaves into the pool
hanging over the side,
feeling the coolness,
i drop in a pebble and wait

long falling before an echo
this well is old and deep
