Invitation to the Interior
Too often we stay at the edge of the wood
or follow the path ‘til it stops.
I invite you to go just a few steps further...
Seek the seamless interior,
the trip-and-trudge, struggle-through interior!
I found a “had been road,” that said enter
and took off at a pace that soon slowed.
Deserted, overgrown and left to their own,
the ruts of the road soon diminished
then narrowed to nearly nothing....
replaced by vines and low brush,
lumps and clumps and heaving ground,
each step a question,
feet finding the slant, the angle, the balance.
One needn’t go far
to find that seamless interior.
I stopped to imbibe the experience.
It’s waiting for you, if you take the time.
It’s a collage, a happening, a mosaic
produced and directed by nature!
Wind, rain, snow, and ice are the sculptors.
It’s a work in progress
an unsigned piece of art,
with sounds and smells and living parts.
An installation!
What museum houses such variety?
Such delicacy and strength?
Such ingenuity of shapes, forms,
light ever changing, without “EVERSOURCE”! *
Solar operated! At no cost to the public!
Accept the invitation to savor that seamless interior,
the collages, the mosaics, the happenings.
Trudge off the path, and enter.
The woods are waiting to welcome you.
