Living - and already savoring - the Adventures across the backroads of western Idaho and eastern Oregon!

Stillness (a poem with a new home)

Note:  “What’s he talking about?  The froot loops in his head?!”  Nope, it hit me that this poem I wrote last year well fits our new Idaho milieu, maybe an autumnal eve in Boise National Forest, so let’s dust it off.

Trees fall
startling all
with a cacophony
unremarked.

Colors shift
so swift
and the toy lies
unloved.

Emotions lie
smiles shy
in a tender wasteland
unrequited.

Nonetheless …
shift, lift
share, care
the tease of hope

rekindled.
