Posted by Windstorm on 4/10/2002, 8:40 pm Would you wait til forever if I did not come? When winter has slaughtered itself for spring I am there, among the torrents aside tree stands. You need not have known of me.
I want to find you alone in a northern shanty.
Out there among the wintery spruce.
Away from tall orders.Would I find you there?
Would you listen for me in the falling snowflakes
as they drift into mounds of forgetfulness,
so quiet they have no memory?
would you strain for a moment toward the pregnant river to hear
how much of me you've spent?
Listen where the crumbling bank breaks.
I am where deer lose velvet,wherever crags allow sun.
No, I do not have to exist, though once I did.
For I am only that which surrounds you.
You need not have brought me here.
For I was always here.
