Here’s another great poem from the pen of Andrew Norton. I hope you enjoy it!
Ask me,
one day in the available light,
“What lies ahead?”
We’ll go for a walk.
We’ll follow the ridge line track
there and back.
We’ll drink with our eyes.
We’ll speak with our hearts.
We’ll delight in the clouds.
And I’ll ask you,
“What lies within?
We’ll listen in silence
for the echoes return.
That is what lies ahead.
~ Andrew Norton 2016
