Shipley on the Spring Equinox

I stroll out when

the veil between

this and that

is thin.

A bridge from

darkness

to light.

I follow paths

carved by those before

in the grass

that is both verdant

and bronze thatch.

Watching my feet

rhythmically trace

earth flattened

by footsteps long gone,

mesmerised by the monotony.

Automatic.

My thoughts flow,

transcendent.

My body rooted to the ground,

my mind floating

in the brilliant, blue sky

broken only

by the intersection

of telephone wires.
