My Reverie

I left the path, walked to cliff's edge. This rugged landscape an imposing sight. Pallets of umber, crimson and jade. Twisting river in canyon's bottom snakes it's way to oxbow....disappears. Hills possessed by strange quiet. Bunches of boulders sit atop bluffs reaching for sky like blunt fists. Whispers of winds climb to drifiting clouds. I sit inert, inhaling scents of moss and twilight. Streaks of lichen on lips of stone lend softness to a robust scene. A near dead pine leans over talus bare trunk split by lightening fingers twisted roots like spindly legs.....clutching. Shadows feeding on veins of light stretch across tundra. Night slowly folds itself around this craggy beauty. I succumb to sounds of quietude. Eeri sensations envelope me, intuitive understanding of ages past. Hushed voices hover aloft chanting of Gods and mankind. Alive in my....reverie
