Rise

A view of the July sunset through the trees on the Enchanted Mesa Trail, Boulder, Colorado. Wildfires rage in the western part of the state and give a red tinge to the night skies.
Who walks beside you as darkness falls, 
clouds breathing in the last light, 
silhouettes of the day 
pressed against the sky. 

Who have you chosen 
to carry you home 
on inked bat wings, 
the western wind 
sloping off the mountainside,
rustling tall golden grass against a fawn and doe. 

Who rises 
in strength from ancient rocks 
to point the way
Home.

~T.M. Spring
