Snow crunches underfoot
wellington tracks dance out before me
a patchwork blanket of ice sits snug as the sun
shines on marshmallow mountains
I scramble over grassy mounds then plunge
ankle deep through crisp glass into unseen bogs
trying to keep up; hold my own
the only sound a distant whir overhead
Thoughts can be looked at out here
taken apart and reassembled
like those fallen stones I see
of an old dividing wall
I wonder here of us; of you
of what any of this means anyway
and why I feel more of myself in nature
than anywhere else yet still
further away from who I’m supposed to be.

Sometimes a place gives fabulous journeys to our internal psyche and your poem did for me, it gave me a clarity that's hard to articulate and that sense of being almost near-to-knowing the self, a temporal sensation that's never linear or pinned down or even close to who we (suspect?) we are. Its our Poem of the Week.
