Mountains, Rivers, Caves, and Trees
By Joshua Kepfer
*Can be read forward and downward
|
Mountains, |
rivers, |
caves, |
and |
trees. |
Many |
secrets |
|
of |
mine |
hidden |
in |
these. |
From |
Spring |
|
flowers |
through |
the |
Autumn |
leaves, |
truth |
from |
|
of |
my |
voice |
sank |
into |
the |
earth. |
|
Wind |
breath |
sometimes |
whispered |
her |
secrets, |
gently |
|
blown |
until |
she |
lies |
still. |
In |
the |
|
grasses |
they |
got |
trapped. |
Framework |
you |
dreamed |
|
of: |
find |
out, |
talk. |
Secrets |
are |
the |
|
silence |
inside, |
escaped |
to |
become |
free, |
unkept. |
|
Mountains |
of |
flowers, |
of |
wind |
blown |
grasses, |
of |
silence. |
|
Rivers |
mine |
through |
my |
breath |
until |
they |
find |
inside |
|
caves |
hidden, |
the |
voice. |
Sometimes |
she |
got |
out, |
escaped. |
|
And |
in |
Autumn |
sank |
whispered |
lies, |
trapped. |
Talk |
to |
|
trees, |
these |
leaves. |
Into |
her |
still |
framework, |
secrets |
become |
|
many. |
From |
truth, |
the |
secrets |
in |
you |
are |
free. |
|
Secrets |
spring |
from |
earth |
gently— |
the |
dreamed, |
the |
unkept. |
