I have met
the quieter mind
here in the valley
of brown and dun
trees
where clouds
softly sit
just between hills,
a shiver of wind
flutters the leaves,
and the mist
wisps away
like spectres.
The mind
does not stir
deeply earthed
– it shivers
a cloud in a lake
it quivers
and is gone.
I wrote this in Scotland where I stayed in a cabin in the hills for a week for solitude, reflection and nature. The early October colors of nature inspired me, as did the still, reflective Loch Voil.
