something ancient, sacred – v3

something ancient, sacred
speaking to my spirit
connected to this place
something familiar
as I walk among the trees
as I survey this land.
 
I have been here before
among these ferns, the pines
walking this land sometime before
something ancient, sacred
something familiar, a knowing,
touching my heart and mind.
