Tears of Weeping Rock touch my back
ancient crying
each drop a resource
maiden hair fern on the ledge
watered by the weeps of the stone
plummet and pool on the rocks below
Tears of Weeping Rock cling to my hair and whisper
I use to be snow high on the straight up mountain ridge
now I start my run into canyon
there are times you should not speak
where the sound of a place is more important than your voice
to hear deep into the water and stone
understand connections of all things
as you enter the Temple of Sinawava
what could
you possibly say that makes any sense to my journey
This is really beautiful Jane – excellent!

Beautiful. Truly conveys a powerful connection to nature that we can have if we only listen.

I love the purity of this poem. These words especially touch me “where the sound of a place is more important than your voice
to hear deep into the water and stone
understand connections of all things” Beautifully written!
