Western Warbler

There is a singer somewhere in the spring forest,
the notes high-pitched and tentatively sweet
posing to claer skies an urgent question
too abstract to complete.

I ahd forgotten that enchanted landscape
that once-how long ago?-circled my days
wherein the child I was, through tangled years,
beakons me back to the parting of our ways.

I grope as a dream, but the track I followed
has closed behind me.
All my blazed trees have grown another cover
and the marks of my old camps have long grown over.
Even the milesones where I scratched my name
have gatheredlichen. Nothing is the same.

But behind closed eyes
the faint echoes of memory ring suddenly strong,
In swift surprise
I am returned to my lost forest
on that thin, questioning song.



Footnote:
Western warbler - a songbird
Blazed trees - trees marked to show the way/path
Lichen - moss

Well that's the poem. So please help me out you guys!!:confused: :bomb:
