PROLOGUE FOR A HERMIT poem


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 1

Prologue for a Hermit

Around Gully Lake Willard
found
calm in his spirit
saw plunging streams

grow larger in their passage

footprints marched under
sun’s dancing stare
hiking ridges he loved
seeing valleys
in bloom

his spirit lively
among the deer.

Eagles were part of his
private space
a habitat for any season
and we are kin in the

remembering.
