The Tree by the Trail

This was one way of telling where I was
The trail, rock floor twisting line
Through the woods
Next to the river.

I had walked it many times
Always in meditation
Or absent minded
The woods filling in
The bogs of memory

Maybe with a dog
The monotony sometimes
Getting me lost.
But there was always the
Tree by the trail
A tall tall blue spruce
To guide me back home
