SOUTH MOUNTAIN COUNTRY HOME
In the middle years, a fondness for the Way,
Later, a home beside South Mountain.
Setting out alone when the impulse arises,
Nature's beauty, received in solitude.
A walk to the water's source,
Sitting, watching, as clouds arise.
Perhaps a chance meeting with an old neighbour,
Talking, laughing, no set return.
