Poem Artwork

I go to seek food
in the ancient fern
and mushroom caps
that open multi-flowered
from time
Millions of spores
released on the wind
settle on decay
spring up stools
that will tell you
if they're poison
I leave those
to the croaking toads
and follow a trail
of wildflowers
The cedars drip branches
of moss on the north side
of their rivered trunks
and in a bed of earth
I'll sit
eat the sweet
of uncultivated truth
knowing this is the food
which sustains me


 



(c) Linda Gayton 2006

This is a fine piece of poetry, Lin, that delivered me to a peaceful place where our industrial world has not yet crept upon. Soothing and gentle, this leaves the reader with a very nice afterglow.
Take care,
Sherry

We all do have our individual paths in this life.

It is good to have discernment about what to take in and what to pass. Hopefully along the way we can share the wisdom we glean each day and others will be edified in the exchange.

Beautiful Lin

Truly intense and environment friendly write. The associations of eating in the wilderness to the search for spirituality is unique.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
