Wild Places

“The mind I love must have wild places.”

                                                 --------- Katherine Mansfield (via feellng)

  

    

________________________________________________  

  

The mind I love must have wild places  

places I can run  

untamed but with its own natural order  

  

The mind I love must have wild places  

and rolling hills  

twisting streams of consciousness  

and forests for the trees  

  

The mind I love must be beautiful  

even its nights  

even when the cold of winter's shadows quietly blots out the light  

  

The mind I love must be fluid  

always willing to change  

and grow along the edges 

  

  

So one day  

I might find a hidden waterfall  

and a crystal cave beyond  

and just sit & watch the moonrise

and know you

again...for a night*
