Strike.
Fall.
Rain on hollow oak.
Moss grows quietly on the hillside.
Drawing moisture from the cool air.
The smell of decaying leaves fills nostrils.
I sit on the ancient stone precipice,
Staring out into the abyss,
Watching the stars move slowly across the dark sky.

Thank you, Srikanth! The mindset is perhaps more valuable and beautiful than the specific location; that can be accessed any time and anywhere with mindfulness and quiet meditation.

I can almost smell the soil from your poem. I “Moss grows quietly on the hillside”. I’m a big fan of moss and have a moss garden in my yard. My favorite place for observing moss, though is in the Great Smokey Mountains. Your poem took me back there, a place I think of as home. Thank you for the imagery that took me back to a special place.

Hm. What a strange connection. One of perhaps my favorite and most inspirational locations is the Smokey mountains… Particularly the Blue Ridge. Much of my mental imagery comes from there. I am so very happy I was able to return you to your place of peace, and am honored just the same.
