From the black
My spirit rose
Found the path
Where current flows
The energy
Connects us all
And me to me
The deepest part
I come to know
In violet light
Is bathed
I’ve seen a hundred shots
From just this spot
But none gifted with this light
Gifted with this atmosphere
Gifted with this glory
A fortune
Of time and place
Being there
In the moment
Camera in hand
Rock and bough
Resilient
Adaptive
Outback
Beauty
Upon the wall
Of ancient cave
A blogger posts
An early selfie
Scars
Pockmarks
Weathering
Textures of
Distress
Hardship
Healing
Brothers and sisters
Of the world
We bring its people together
I mind
Not a bit
Becoming one
With it all
Just me
And the land
And the dance
Of the road
