Walking Through the Earth
I’m walking through the earth,
touching waterfalls that
regard my silhouetted as a path,
hidden in places that eyes never see,
There are whispers all around me,
looking at the walls, and how
the light's spilling over the seams ―
elements synthesized by nuclear burning,
I’m walking through the earth,
from under the ages, unafraid,
shuffling through the leaves,
moving toward a gate that was left open,
touching waterfalls that
regard my silhouetted as a path,
hidden in places that eyes never see,
There are whispers all around me,
looking at the walls, and how
the light's spilling over the seams ―
elements synthesized by nuclear burning,
I’m walking through the earth,
from under the ages, unafraid,
shuffling through the leaves,
moving toward a gate that was left open,

The path has always been there. Most cannot see the ancient footsteps to follow. Love, love, love this one!

For the love of fortuitous wandering, as I am reminded of the wonder in beauties old and new in the poets of poetry, "Oh bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art" and I wonder more; how do these things happen to you as they've happened upon me. Yes, the gate, I've closed it. Now I rest assuredly that the mealybugs on my lilacs will not escape; if it were that they're there. Regardless - Its a great story how that came to be.. I'll tell you later of the earth, almost as if you're as clueless as me, and I'll throw in the sea for free. I could go one and on.... and so I will, in all probability. :)

I like gates... garden gates, four
barred gates that open on to
meadows, the gates to heaven
and hell...just show me a gate
and I'll work my way around it...
and not by sitting on the fence,
either..:)

This says to me to enjoy the wonders that we have before they disappear. Enjoyed the read.
