The Sacredness of Now
A pilgrimage poem by Kathryn Overall
Spring 2019. Pablacion de Campo, Spain
A hermitage in Spain
The whispering of trees
The quietness of grass
My shadow on the stone
The cooing of pigeons
The endless stretch of sky
The drowsy buzz of bees
My face in dappled sun
The scratching of my pen
The settling of my heart
The stilling of my mind
The resting of my broken places
In your gently waiting hands.
