Inspired by the winter woods around Southern Dharma Retreat Center, in
northwest North Carolina.
The forest is gray
Falling leaves rotting to black
Ah, the bright green moss!
Which way? No idea
No sun, just endless forest
â€ÂThis way,†whispers God
Poison ivy vine
Black furry vein snaking up
Gorged with stolen blood
Choose a view: clear stream
Poison ivy and kudzu
Today, it’s the stream
