Quote: "the drums of time have ceased
                 and my fragile soul is a sea of tears" By Constance la France
                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Along a scarcely hidden wooded trail
                   the sun is going to set in the north
  with hawks and ancient oaks         as companions
      wandering in silence,   I pursue my quest
           the world shines brightest in ivory twilight
   lush mossy sticks 
                      to the soothing granite
    winged sparrow rushes   toward its perch
          yet, amid the stillness, 
                       I feel utterly lonesome...

these woodlands contain     historic forest
   their stems provide     a comfortable resting place...
         they wrap around me,   with such loving fingertips...
   when my brain gets flooded 
                  with pessimistic pondering...pondering...
while roaming in quietness,     I chase my quest
                    
passion for life is beating in my chest.
          yet, I am solely lonesome in this stillness
                          I meditate quietly  in that spot
   behold meticulously   groomed crawl
              among hues and patterns, 
                                   calmly lounging...
                   I am riveted by their charm and ferocity
    they opt not to challenge    their rights...
            neither sigh nor sorrow 
                          under meaningless weights

I acknowledge the blessings upon their humble beings.
      still, I am utterly isolated 
                          in this quietness...quietness...
thus, when the tide of negativity 
                            doubts and concerns have crested...
and profound dread 
                   has penetrated me to the bone
following that path 
                              I fulfill my soul's wish.
I am completely alone in this darkness.
