voice | poetry
by Shannon P. Laws
The woods are lovely dark and deep
There are hidden treasure chests to keep
A stranger blocks my trail so narrow
the shadow falls once pierced by sparrow
Feeding on gnats in the twilight spaces
I see my face on the faces
Along the ways of search and find
great friends there are of every kind
