TRACK TWELVE, SONG: “SHADOW OF A HAWK”

SHADOW OF A HAWK Jim Novak, 2020

I would plant this seed, even if I knew
That tomorrow the world would come apart
I’m not obliged, to complete my work,
But I don’t give in, once I start.


As long as I can hear waterfalls and birds
And leaves, stirred above me, by the breeze
I’ll remember places, in the country of my mind
And my occupation, planting trees

Across the trail as I walk, I see the shadow of a hawk


Posing me a question, soaring free
Seeking connection, as well may be

The seeds in an apple, count them, but you’ll know
When you plant one seed in the earth, how many apples will grow
