A Poem For Today - The Lighthouse

[KEN DICKINSON]





The Lighthouse

Its vision sweeps its one path

like an aged monk raking a garden,

his question long ago answered or moved on.

Far off, night-grazing horses,

breath scented with oatgrass and fennel,

step through it, disappear, step through it, disappear.

Jane Hirshfield
