In Silences Nature Time Whispers Poem by Terence George Craddock

time depending on light height blocked
by surrounding mountains local knowledge
fast gathers stores local knowledge in
time walked immersion bushcraft skills
in still silences nature time whispers
to vision rural eyes secrets city eyes
rising late rarely see like a blind person

motion moving missing sign subtle ever talking
air shift changing wilderness times sometimes
to instant immerge from wilderness is like
a deep-sea diver breaking sea surface
after deep dives wilderness to cityscape
are vast differing contrast images to wilderness
travellers returning abruptly into town city civilization

scenes the stillness wilderness ghost echoes
in senses for a time wilderness images
stir wilderness minds; postcards
internet television documentaries
scenic images lack feel of air breeze
wind on face heat of sun or wetness
feel fresh rain on skin sounds smells bugs

all sight smell felt absent sensation dynamic interactions
