Trail Through The Woods - John Pirnak

< the sun's eye >
tree upon tree
still lakes and eager brooks
cries remembered
yours
mine
so many others
time watchs like an eye
(the sun's)
seeing the beauty it illuminates
and the unspeakable
to the sun a road is just a tiny line
to us as well
but the sun knows where it goes
wooded hills
endless to us
to our fantasies of sacred places
to our dreams of refuge
escape
revenge
mumbled confessions
treason
eyes
ours this time
witnessing their acts
feeling the dreams of revenge
corrupt us
our tongues
mumble acts of retribution
fantasy
our life has been devoured
refuge
we dream of such a place
the earth is vast enough
these wooded hills
just these
if only they could keep us close
let us have peace
