By Old Light
Mary Campbell
We move through old light held
with tenderness and joy
in soil and leaf.
As we walk these woods
what ancient depths
do our footsteps touch
and how does the tiniest
vibration of our passing
reach the earth’s core ?
Our connection
to the time beyond time
on this ground we inhabit
allows us to rest
in song and shade
when we meet the clearing. ●
