stories of travel, medical missions, and more
the stars came out this morning
as i sat in the blackness of morning-night
that teetering point between the two
long before the sun peeks through
the empty black before me
sparkled suddenly
first one
then four
then a forever more
and before i knew it
i sat not alone
the stars came out this morning

Space of Hills, high and black
Near the Lands, bad and mystic
Follow the deer and track
an ancient relic
of this old, old place
Reach up to the endless river
of sky, scattered—the Milky Way
Orion and his unseen quiver
fires arrows at the rise of a new day
Take the trail—footpath of beast and man
Get lost in those vanilla trees
Breathe in their life and understand
the quiet and beauty
of these Black Hills
