Celine Berghman’s poem “Toward the Path of Light” captures in words what artist Murray Phillips captured on canvas.
Toward the Path of Light – by Celine Berghmans
Clouds crawl ’bout the vast space.
Heat curls ’round walking figures
as the wind hushes words in
the sun-burnt ears of people.
No sound – but the hust
of still nature all around
where one turns.
shh- listen – listen to the birds
whispering messages across
‘the tree tops.
Click clack click clack click clack click clack
morning bells awaken sleepers
in the lone still mountain hills.
And morning stilllness begins with
rushing water.
Rushing feet and hands
towards the path of light
one will follow that day.
