Carved out of evergreen tree

Great smoky mountains. Photo by the author.

All the way

In

To the dimension of true

Words

Gone above

Like owl wings

Outstretched

In a flash you might

Miss it

As mind goes mountain mode

So close to peak

Yet under the zone of wonder

As thunder

Greets doorbells

Like that open-armed

Ecstatic haven’t seen you in so long

Photo-op

The tiny bubbles in nostalgia

Carved out of evergreen tree

Whispers

Seeking the warm, comfort

Of sanctuary

Yet the journey seems

An endless

Game of

Oh so close

Try again.
