Notes from the Hill-Continued

SR tree 1.15

Another poem from my early coastal journal.  From the beginning, this hill, the rock and the tree became my place to sit and drink in peace.

Benediction

The benediction of twilight,

golden grass whispers

 

dying red sun, a last light

across lavender sky

 

and two bright birds

wing to the chaparral

 

an amen of rustling grace

song with the green rhythm of flight
