Poem: Garden Path Revisited

Gold on green

Sunlight kisses sway

Freshness, affinity

Absorb into my bones, yet

Layered in the undergrowth

A waiting

Time

You perplexing burden

Heavy hypnotising snake

Unfathomable

Unfolding and unleashing

Years upon seasons

Generations

This torrent vanishing all

I know

Caught in the current

We are

I am

But not lost
