Hippy spirits floating around
On tiptoe
So as not to make a sound.

The trees sway in their subtle way
And the mountains call for your return.

Someway, someday
feet will walk over roots
with worn-in hiking boots.

For now –
Perhaps Home is ivy-laced concrete;
a patch of grass; speckled granite; black-and-white family photographs
And blessings for a forming future and happy past.
