Earth Clad
by Alison McKenzieMy earthen eyes
Prefer the darkness,
That time of night when
What I see is the solitude
Of an otherwise sleeping world,
My thoughts my own,
The wind blowing for me,
The coyotes howling
At a moon performing
Exclusively for my art.
I have come to love,
To find peace in my own skin.
Perhaps if I can learn to
Connect with my own heart,
The sky clad warrior
Will not be far behind.

| Posted by Kris Mara on 04/01/15 at 02:00 PM powerful words and awareness here...at one with one's self, existence, world...the movement from the first half and its powerful stillness (for lack of better term) - and the end realization of more to come...very nicely done... |
