Response
“Wood Pause”
in a mountain wood
i learned to love the road
pavement leading surely home
along the golden vanishing
i learned to love the road
its dusty graveled verges
in the golden vanishing
safe from sudden steel speed
its dusty graveled verges
crumble walks in leaves and grass
safe from sudden steel speed
through the turning season
crumble walks in leaves and grass
old growth’s solid comfort
through the turning season
gaze is drawn above, away
old growth’s solid comfort
deep roots, long shadow
gaze is drawn above, away
beyond the moment’s stillness
deep roots, long shadow
pavement leading surely home
beyond the moment’s stillness
in a mountain wood

Lovely pantoum, Cecilia. It works so well here! Jane, your fall walk image captures the ending of the day and the ending of fall. Great pairing!
Both the image and the words transported me to my memories of being in such locations and made me long to be there once again. Beautiful work ladies!
