10-14-16: Paul State Forest

There are still ghosts
In the quiet times
In the oft visited places
Ghosts of a past that once was
Ghosts of a love that once was
Mingled with joy in the life that is
bitter and sweet and glorious and sad

There's been love in this forest
laughter and fear
and friendship and anger
And grief.
Yes, grief.

But in the stillness
And the beauty
I greet my ghosts
And I
Bid them adieu.
