Stone Secrets

There is a wall of stone erected in the woods Where no one ever sees, only those who journey Across the graveyard which borders it’s edges Coloring the world in hues of passionate prose Flavoring the site with spices of sweet scented cloves Which beckon to our hearts from flowing rivers Of sentiments which reveal the passionate joys And mysteries discovered there across the branches Where trees embrace the light with leaves which Reach high above the limbs they grace with a fervent Urgency, longing to touch the skies so bright and alive With feelings of appreciation for the mystery of a wall So vividly portrayed in the pines and beech trees Where only God knows this stone structure’s secrets And leaves us all wondering at the hues and harmonies Discovered just beneath the surface of such ambiguities A Wall in the Woods Poetry Contest Sponsored by: craig cornish October 3, 2020
