The Endless Conversation (Haiku-form)

by Ronald A Pavellas

Cool shade under tree
Aircraft noises are distant
Wind blows tunes through leaves

I contemplate trail
Newly hewn by volunteers,
Today's objective

The day is peaceful
I regain connection with
Some eternal forces

True-ness to oneself
Requires knowledge of oneself
Most elusive goal

---

"My" hill sits one mile
Northwest of new-found hill-top
Raptors circle-ing

Just a hill, no more
Yet a universe of life
For those who would see

Blessed solitude
To think and be, smell and see
No other concerns

Yet a consciousness,
The observer and observed
Two men that are me

Both now accepted
No more battles as to which
Is the more valid

This conversation
Will continue to the end
Of my days, and ... on?
