He roamed the rolling foothills
that tell you where you belong
Leading to the wildwood edges
beyond shadows cast at dawn
Beneath the treetop scaffolds
dappled sunlight shines upon
Uncovering a well trodden footpath
a feral silence calls you down
Crossroads shaped by claws on paws
and cloven hoof, every piece
of trodden puzzle fits perfectly
in a sacred tapestry life bequeathed
No need leaving traces of another
world, to mark a labyrinth unknown
Disturbing unfettered secret places —
no other intruding footprints belong
A gentle wind caresses
every unspoken thought
from a pensive voice within
Where every intimate touch
of verdant greenery, assuages your soul
with a mystic sleight of hand
It’s a journey of heart & soul
to a peaceful secluded solitude
Captured moments woven
into the sounds of silent psalms —
where light is just a subtle difference
shimmering between the leaves
