[in telling how the wildlife
are coming back to his family's
farm, now returned to nature]

It is an orange warning cone,
yellow caution tape,
a white sawhorse,
and a tree with fall leaves falling
against an indifferent sky.

To Gandalf, the far-off memories of
a journey long before were now of little help,
but even in the gloom
and despite all the windings of the road
he knew whither he wished to go,
and he did not falter as long as there was
a path that led towards his goal.
