Running the Course

 

By Katherine Neff


The Course



The wild winding trail draws me

Into a different reality,

First gentle swaying spacious trees

Thickening to dark dense canopies.



Opening to a bright broad scar

A Giant’s footstep, flat and far,

Treading not man’s villainous stance

But leading toward a stone expanse.



I see the granite mountain face

Filling the height and width of space

With a call to follow the course

Through jungled plants to their source.



Where upon the glassy lake runs cold,

With a sense that stills my soul,

That Another far greater than man

Created this world in which I stand.
