THIS LAND
Native
to this earth
this land
this sky
no map
no guide book
helps me find
the road
I take.
I do not stride
or jog
or run
instead
I slowly walk
along
and see
the trees
the plants
the darting birds
beneath
the open sky.
This land
which so
delights
my eyes
unknown
by others
who may pass
intent
with thoughts
and dreams
and yet
who never see.
