Moonlight Trail




In the meadow the lark will soon
Nest
Twig by twig, song by song
Yet its flutelike call for spring
Will catch no dream on unmoon nights

Let your steps free
But leave no footprints
In the desert at high noon
Touch old wounds
But leave no scars

Yet leave by trails
Unmarked and worn
From where I often watched
People, sunsets, oceans and silent deserts
Become one, as the trails turned around

To let my steps free
And erase all footprints
Upon the sand and ocean waves
Or high desert trails at noon
For I knew how to touch old wounds
And leave no scars
