Veins of Mist

The hills exhale in threads—
pale veins of mist 
tracing the pulse of morning.

Beneath the crush, 
stones remember the weight 
of footsteps that never returned.

A crow calls once,
and silence folds 
around it like a cloak.

The sky does not answer. 
It only listens 
with the patience of old gods.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Veins of mist, weaving through the hills like faint arteries, carry the unspoken pulse of dawn,” loosely adapted from John Muir’s journal entries in My First Summer in the Sierra (1911).
