A country Unplanned By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
it is not a straight road through
country unplanned. alongside hard watered
river, through storm driven mist. we must
travel, impelled unresisting forward.
road top changes soft to smooth, pocketed
to near non existent. how we
should move determined long before
there was road in this country ever.
and there, where green tree stands in
groups unmanageable, refuge to so much life,
we can stop sheltered, rest. kneel before
broken limbed overgrown communion rail.
to receive as heart and body,
stimulating the work of our tongues,
to speak and digest and taste, the fuel
we seek to continue
through a country unplanned,
unknown stormed and graced, but a country
given us. gifted in ways we'll not know,
pulling us towards.
