Today I Came Looking

by carole, posted in photographs, Poem, Uncategorized 














Today I came to this woods looking for a poem
and this is what I found:





In the distance,
in the trees,
luminescent waves of foggy sunlight pierce everything,
delivering the energy of Life,
the love of God.





A bird floats back and forth and becomes transparent—
a foggy lumination playing in white and yellow currents
riding on the exhalation of God’s breath.





I won’t hurry too quickly from this place.
I won’t say I’ll be back tomorrow.





For this light … this particular tantalizing light,
is the face of Holiness.

In The Forest




In the forest

she learned a language

a new vocabulary

not of words but of winds

of light, shadow texture,

a coverlet of silence

understood by newts and lichens


The moon knows this talk

and the clouds and sky

Where her spirit’s poetry

swells in worship of fern and toad,

a tumbling of wind words,

a rush of bird speak,

the language of sight and smell and touch.


A windy ocean in the trees

Spirits descending like fog,

The forest holds her grief and joy

And shadows by the front door

have no more power.
