I found a little trail that led me to this gem the other day. Life can be so good sometimes.

“There’s a hollow past the hemlocks where the trout-dark waters run,
And the laurel keeps the secrets of the rain”

[James Vespoli @VespoliPoetry]

"The stream has lost its frozen speech
and finds its voice in softer keys,
a murmur at the roots' long reach,
a whisper underneath the freeze."

I turned toward home beneath a paling sky,
The air not warm, yet looser in its ache.
Behind me, roots were drinking, deep and shy,
Ahead, the road that habit helped me take.
Between the two I walked, a smaller thing,
Yet held inside what all the seasons gave:
The orchard’s year of water, fruit, and wing,
And One who moves through blossom, branch, and grave.
