the journey’s been...

the journey's
been fuller than I expected and a
lot of things got a way of changin' like the
dawn with its dewy heather in early days of
lone November when time appears so still
and even in a rainy remember October
as I recall just how it felt I was
walkin’ tall & takin’ a
look with eyes
awake air
crispy
clear
sun
still
slicing

through the cedars
there I felt the days gone
by as I heard the morning
cry in a crested valley
over flowing with
glens that I
used to
roam
with
the
why
of blue
sapphire skies

with streams of steam &
the whistle of trains through
misty tree & it’s longing for
young yet horizon's dim
grew fainter

I feel like I am always with you on that road...with the beauty, and a certain sadness that just never will let go.

Oh, I love that - "sun slicing through the cedars" - your words dance with music, and ache with poignancy. Ahhhh!
