Walking Companions

 
 
Sunlight hides in the deep wood-
A fugitive fleeting between the trees
And time exists without hourly pleas.
The path is merely steps taken in the passing
Of a day - gathering and leaving all that is good.
 
The old man wandered through his thought
Alone - but for his companion of twenty years
Who is mostly blind though still owns fine hound ears
And they both understand that soon a passing
Would be and they shall carry on without fraught.
 
For now, they walk together slowly towards the light
As they’ve done many times traversing their lives
Crisscrossing the mountain avoiding lowland hives
Where pain and joy are apple pies in passing
And instead, cherish the evanescent insight.
