A Day Away

Today 
Was a day 
Away 

The deserted campground -
The stream running 
     Clean 
Lots of trees 
     Broken off 
Probably from that last 
     Wind storm 
Cottonwoods dead 
     From the drought 
Snapped off 
     Up high 

But it's still beautiful 
And silent 
Here 

In summer the campground 
Would be full 
     Of screaming, running 
     Children

But now
A hawk looks at me 
     Lazily
I'm too big to eat 
     The bird flies
     To the next tree 

I walk on 

Not much water 
In the stream 
Not much spirit 
In 
     Me -
I feel like 
I'm fading 
As if I was wearing 
The magic 
Ring 

A walk in the woods 
Does one some good
Even if 
The wizard 
     And the elves 

Put in no 
     Appearance 
Today
