Howling Wilderness
windswept
bleak treeless plain
white blanketed mountains
permafrost hardened ground, I am
alone
Step out on a treeless plain,
Earth scoured with monsoon ruts.
It's not that we never learn,
Just not fast enough!
Past the treeless forest
Through the sea with no water
Beyond the desert without sand
For the city with no more towers
The world watches in fear
Like a note in November
Left on some treeless leaves
Still as snowflake constellations
Made lost along the drainway
And till unsighted
These words falling, fleeing
Into Winter.
March is a good time
to be a thin branch
in a treeless landscape.
You can catch hold of a wind-serpent
in your upheld hands,
a sea-creature born to be
the innards of the sky.
When high rains surf
a flat-faced landscape
mountains of air,
can pitch you pell-mell
onto darkly crashing shores,
margins you once mistook
for yourself.
Wind swept days, a good time
to be a thin branch
in a treeless landscape.
I was not born to the moors,
they were born again in me,
they're a sea creature
created to be
the heartbeat of the sky.
Rains surf over mountains of air
pell-mell is the wilderness.
The rolling swells of a high heath
have saved me,
or maybe it was the lash,
the hundreds of shapes
gypsy winds can take
when you roam the unknown.
THE RACE CONTINUES
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
The relentless waves devour the shore
Once familiar places exist no more
I look about the treeless plain
Those loved faces do not remain
Yet I see them joyful memories I keep
Cherished events are buried deep
Those that guided me are still within
I take their role for friend and kin
Another soon will receive the baton
The race continues on and on
Episodes will continue to unfold
What is the purpose, what is the goal?
