Home Trek
On I trek the length of that grassy lane
Amidst green and misty rolling fields
And the far woods, a fieldstone wall by the side
Of the lane coasting along up and down hill
To the measure of my unwary, idle stride,
To the swing of my arms and the beating of my heart…
Am I now going anywhere?
For I feel I’ve arrived, though never did I leave
And have been here all along, seduced by these fields
And mists, a lonely elm past my trek,
A red barn looms farther on, the sky abloom
Mauve and rose, whether the first blush
Of day or eventide’s glimmer matters not,
My words echoing my footfalls all along.
