The Waning of the Wild
I can feel the alone
Pressing on me
In this beautiful wild
I wait for it to speak
But beneath the rushing water
And painted canyons.
The once strung bow is now silent.
Polished pebbles have lost their shine.
The Mountain’s thrum has grown cold.
A breath of wind trembles.
The fireflys flicker
Light weaving in and out
Like sparklers on the Fourth of July.
The jagged lines of sudden echos
In the shadowed canyons walls are reminiscent of
A slowing heartbeat.
Mine?
Or the Wild?
