Gathering Firewood - Countryside Poetry

Columbines flowers in the country mountains photo

Gathering firewood I enter mountain depths,
mountain depths rising creek beyond creek
choked with timbers of bridges in ruins.
and at dusk, scarce people grow scracer still.
Mountain wind sweeping through simple robes
my chant steady, I shoulder a light bundle,
watch smoke drift across open country home.
