Finding the Stillness

   There was no sun to set.   The grayness of the day blotted into night.  Autumn had carried me down the road before I had noticed that I was riding her.  The day's shortcomings had crept into the saddle with us. I felt my tension return to me through Autumn's reins. 
     I took a deep breath and held it until I could see the forest grow in shadows around us.  I exhaled and felt Autumn inhale.  Frogs sang over the silence.  Hoof beats stepped on stones and over stars adrift in puddles.  Seas fell from the swollen creeks off the mountain's sides.  Stillness found me on the back of my horse. 



Stars drift on puddles
Frogs sing over the silence
Hoof beats step on stones.
