As you looked down the light cast shadows
sharper and you descended the stairs slowly
and turned nto the dark corridor... and all
of a sudden the contrast vanished and the
scent of woods and mossy sea cliffs
conjure memories as the grounds revealed
themselves beneath your feet.
Your toes on the ancient earth recall the
space of your ancestors, the persistence
of herbs and wildflowers to grow amidst
a terrain of limestone and craggy earth
windswept bluffs and tombs that preced
your memory. You breathe it in deeply
and know you will be here again and
wherever else life may bring you,
the future is yet unwritten
