Analysis of Wilderness within



Wilderness within
The grains of sand
And the palces of their living being

Opens slow to become
in its becoming
All that’s ment to be

Falling water over fallen rocks
Spray of freshness through moving light

Moistened mosses cling in green delight
Trace of leaves in autumn tones
Dance of shadows reflect off stones
Beyond the silence of falling leaves
