From our door
The river we see
Is named ‘river’.
The mountain on the horizon
Is ‘mountain’.
But the woods,
The woods,
Are named from whispers,
And the farms
From grief and joy.
Belonging
Is not a gift
Nor a right.
It lives in an open heart
Free from reasons
And excuses.
The old stag oak
Now wears a crown of gold,
The ash and alder wear
Empty sky.
All roads arrow straight,
But for their bends.
All hills are green
From a certain distance.
The rivers run full
After a night’s rain
And the sun is stretched
And etched with rainbows.
There is not a promise
That it cannot be forgotten.
There is not a day
That cannot be glorious.
