A Poem
Moving through you one evening When you offered shelter to quiet things soaked in rain I saw through your thinning branches the beginnings of suburbs, and frightened by the rain, grey hares running upright in distant fields; and quite alone there I thought of nothing but my footprints being filled, and love, distilled of people, drifted free, then the woods spoke with me Brian Patten
