On The Mountain

You stop and listen carefully

to a subtle speech

held within the sturdy

syntax of stones,

slowly at first,

then suddenly as a summer storm,

you arrive surrounded

by blessed silence

in a communion of solitude

SUCH RAUCOUS STILLNESS

spoken by granite,

basalt and limestone 

unbidden

into the hearth and haven,

this hidden heart

of your truest home.
