In the woods

There is something felt there

in the wood, among the trees,

hidden in the landscape, waiting,

longing, presence not yet seen,

but felt in the woods today where

the mist is still and the half-moon

rises over the scene and just a breath

is heard in the woods, among the trees,

near to evening when nothing is

certain between the loss of day and

the slow and steady coming of night.
