Diary 2017

The wood brings together
time past and time to come,
the hour-glass pivot-point
of shifting sand;
this moment where I stand
eyes closed, letting time fuse.

A meeting place of roots and feet
where Autumn roars its fury,
drowning out all sound
save for itself and the hoarse
kaahr, kaahr of rooks;
black rags that swirl and dive
and make the wind their own.

I am caught in this apex,
crossed-road of time and space
where all things meet and meld
where all befores and afters disappear,
become this now, this moment,
this herein of being.
