Poetic Trail Musings

Trail Musings

I wonder if perhaps
the strength of love
flows from your heart

as blessings upon those
you pass in grocery store isles
and if the soil underfoot
is fertilized by your steps

or if those whose religion or politics
tempt your heart into blinding rage
are held with the respect due the divine

Most of all however I wonder
how deep and profound
is your love of self

I wonder if Nature’s wild eros for itself
is felt within as you gaze
into the mirror of your living
