Walking A New Trail Poem by Raynette Eitel

I do not know this place,
Yet memories stir silent shadows.
Sunlight presses golden droplets
In an old familiar way.

I do not know this space,
Yet just around the bend, somehow I know
A laurel blooms like lace, and way up high
A tall birch wears a heart with two names.

These woods have never seen my face
And yet my spirit skips along this trail
As one returning home from a long journey
Enjoying landmarks from the past.
