Nomad
Through the craggy rock I climb
Untouched by humankind,
The wolf, the snake, the lizards all
Can search this place and find,
My tracks and scent and long lost hairs
Clinging to makeshift stairs.
The valley lies before me,
The mountains in the great beyond,
Colors beat around the trees,
To remind my soul, what’s done.
Mother, father, brother, who?
They all are just above
The realm of all that I hold dear,
Mountains, moon and doves!!
c. Poetic Universalisms I by Lena Smith Carter, 2006.
