Atticus, this poem resonates with the letting go of effort ... either to stand, walk, ascend, or even maintain the inconstant self ... where even stillness becomes motion, and stones lift. It speaks of the paradox of fog that brings clarity.

I'll reserve judgement on this piece until the end of the week, but it's quite good.

Finally, a decent Atticus poem!

Thank you sir, I will await the falling of your witty ax. :-)

Hi, Atticus--The gray pall cast over this beautiful setting is a perfect descriptor of torn emotions, and a harbinger of the final outcome. Kudos! I have featured "On Trail in Appalachia" in the Tanka Group.
