in the stilled place

 

lola and i went for a walk today in the woods down by the river.  we walked a path which once was the main road to the next town over.  you can still find the remains of cellar holes, flower beds, day lilies.  while we walked it rained and then it rained harder.  it's been raining here for days and won't let up till friday.  but the wet forest and the path were beautiful.

i am reading poems by wendell berry right now.

SOWING
                             In the stilled place that once was a road going down
                             from the town to the river, and where the lives of marriages grew
                             a house, a cistern and barn, flowers, the tilted stone of borders,
                             and the deeds of their lives ran to neglect, and honeysuckle
                             and then the fire overgrew it all.  I walk heavy
                             with seed, spreading on the cleared hill the beginnings
                             of green, clover and grass to be pasture.  Between
                             history's death upon the place and the trees that would have come
                             I claim, and act, and am mingled in the fate of the world.
