Exploring the Rose Lake Trail: A Poetic Journey   Leave a comment

Couple Hiking the Rose Lake Trail in the Santa Catalina Mountains — Painting by kenne

On the Rose Lake trail
two figures move together,
their shapes half-folded
into shadow.

The Santa Catalinas rise around them,
granite boulders draped in cloud,
pines whispering in wind.

I paint them in dark colors—
deep greens, muted browns,
the gray of stone after rain—

a palette of weight and hush,
where even their laughter
seems brushed in shadow.

Yet in the distance,
a faint light holds,
a suggestion of water,

a trail bending forward,
a quiet promise
beyond the shadows.

Is this a lost shirt or an extreme act of kindness?

peaceful and

One imagines him as a prodigious morning walker
And a lonely metaphysician pausing in the park,

A rose rabbi, a sturdy man on a wide path
Dreaming of a sky washed clean by doubt.

One pictures him under the umbrella
Pines and buttonwoods on the way to work,

Imagination’s largest thinker conjuring up
Songs of human radiance twanging in the mist.

One thinks of him by the lake in a rain:
Mirrors on mirrors mirroring the emptiness.

— from At the Grave of Wallace Stevens by Edward Hirsch
