The Druid Forest
~
A gnarl of deep roots
buried built and cut into rocks
a witches kitchen
the relief of the ancient Appalachians
crawling in the caves below.
~
Circular stones ring the central opening
surrounded by overlapping ovals
sturdy pines
a soft needled floor.
~
A bold of red Japanese maple
fell recently to cover
the rocky foundations of
where we walk
an entry to the under world
Dolman portals, weeping cliffs
a brook with
heather floating.
~
The elephant rough ears swoop
to the stream.
It’s the magic of mountains
secret images in our subconscious
rocks rising from their earth graves
to capture us
in the water spring spills.
