The Gatekeeper
(Connecting Generation to Generation, Moment to Moment)
I can still see him
walking the land
at the end of our day —
his long shadow
stretching across the trail
saluting the setting sun,
listening to the breeze
slowly moving the pines
each in concert with the sunset.
Surveying his domain
in a moment of thanks,
collecting the feelings
inspired by nature’s
changing of the guard
continuing life’s connection
to all things now
and all things to come.
Even as before, I watch
him through youthful eyes
now knowing his thoughts
formed by years of experience
and a spiritual connection
to the rhythm of the ages,
the language of the universe.
Not just another sunset,
but a passing of the baton —
connecting the day with the night,
yesterday with tomorrow,
creating moments of recollection
of life’s passages from now to forever,
insuring our never-ending existence.
