Wet grass caps toes,
a long missed inconvenience,
each pace lifting
weight long loved
The dappled, leaf stopped light
tries to placate,
but you won’t stay
Like time and tide
you wipe your face clean
and disappear through trees
with no trail

Wet grass caps toes,
a long missed inconvenience,
each pace lifting
weight long loved
The dappled, leaf stopped light
tries to placate,
but you won’t stay
Like time and tide
you wipe your face clean
and disappear through trees
with no trail
