Upon This Earth
by Richard L. Provencher

Watery sounds linger from
a quickening
rush, rising as echoes
within this valley--

foamy run-offs carve
paths from ancient past

and climbing downhill is a
discovery
of wildness, beauty
where deer hesitate at
foreign movement.

Pushing caution from our
steps and behind a
curtain of mist
we view with adoring eyes

a shelter from man's eternal
drive, a chance to relax
and absorb respite
from the land.

2011 Richard L. Provencher

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
