i stumbled upon it deep in the woods as i rounded a curve in the path
miles from any road or neighbor
stone walls chimney & brick well remained
inhabitants long since having departed
sitting in front of the hearth
pondering the silence of the woods
what life and love were celebrated here?
what dreams promises and prayers were whispered in this place?
[a snarky blue jay answered me with its laughing call
reminding me that all of this temporal world fades away]
