the sheep
the rolling winds of summer
 alert you to my
arrival 
as I step off the worn path
stumbling my way through 
unfamiliar pastures
an intruder 
I am  
i take my place amongst you
under the rumbling black clouds
that move across a landscape 
of valleys and mountains
i sit
listening
to the sea's continuous performance
the same melody
since time began
and after awhile
i have forgotten what led me
to this place
love, anger, heartache, regret
it no longer matters
my heart
is now 
quiet
i rise
departing not on the path
from which I came
but one
anew
but one
anew
and  
you
with
gales approaching
with
gales approaching
return to your grazing
