Clearing Poem by Thomas Rickarby

Clearing

Rating: 4.8


At first I tried to sweep aside
the forest of my thoughts.

An axe in hand I cleared the land,
slowly back to where I was.

Then I slept, a great long sleep,
where nothing moved at all.

Awaking to the bright still air,
I got up and simply walked.
