Light in Dark
Olympic National Park
Across this high mountain trail
The Celestial Cosmos
Illumines by starlight
Forever under the heavens
Harvesting shrimp, Kodiak AK
Long day done
Nightfall’s walk home
Down two-lane road
In a momentary flash
Bodies become framed
Emblazoned in bright yellow car light
We are light beings
San Juan Islands
Leaving the huge stone fireplace
The all-camp gathering adjourns
Into moonless night
We use no torch, no light
“Your eyes will adjust,” they say
There is the trail, a dark root
Silent trees stand sentry
Tred softly like deer
Sight in the still dark night
