A hilltop moment...

A lonely hill, surrounded by more;
a place to think, to recapture time

Out and about walking a favorite cemetery...

A pickup's bed, aclash with iron
a stream to ford, a trail to climb

The road not traveled...

A writer's walk, no longer quiet.
A daytime slumber by sound disturbed...

A pause...

A hunters cry, another's flight;
a motion heard as much as seen

...and a look about

The writer's search turned outward now
Leaves shield night's shadow and yet...

...and at the limit of my camera and lens...

Time and time, and space to breathe
on edge of vision, there to see

...awakened by the truck's noise.
