MOUNT LIBERTY IN MARCH
Remember what she said—
the snowshoe hare left
Description: Mount Liberty is one of six mountains along Franconia Ridge. On clear days, it's summit has panoramic views of the surrounding Pemigewasset Wilderness. We took the Liberty Spring and Franconia Ridge trails which covered about 8.0 miles with 3,250 ft in elevation gain.
Remember what she said—
the sun is
still there
even when
you can’t feel it
or can’t
see, for that matter,
two feet in
front of your face
the future
is like that
packaged up
in the clouds
It’s March,
brighter now,
teetering on
the edge of
winter’s
memory, again and again
you pull
your thoughts away
from the
magnet in your brain
with a sigh, with curiosity
with an
invitation, you see
the snowshoe hare left
his tracks
in the snow
and
mossbeards are making
old men out
of trees
and the sun,
little by little
is revealing
each new moment
folded in the
day
