With a Nod of Deepest Appreciation to Robert Frost


Whose woods these are I think I know

His house is right beside me though

I cannot bring myself to go

Within, though they entice me so.

 

Quiet brown strength of solid wood standing

On red-brown bed of autumn hued hilllside and

Grey and dark receding and dove grey distance and

 

Copper paper memories pretending colours and

Love-laced tracings of snow on branches

 

Above and within

 

All-reaching into white-greyness of air

 

And silence

 

And stillness
