I Was Born to Walk Well-Leafed Hills



I went to the forest

to read the leaves
and learn just what they might tell me

I was born to walk
well-leafed hills

I felt quite certain
a design could be made out
if only I looked the right way

and then, finding fresh signs

and hidden gilt messages,
old pathways were opened

I traveled to this small world
complete and content,
perfect in its tiny
self.


I cannot contain
the golden glory of fall
my soul overflows
