Rag Rock - Paul And I Went Up There One Night At Christmas Time And I Didnt See Any Christmas Lights On Houses.



When I was a child on Rag Rock blueberries surprised me
Near shady trees.
The berries revealed a dark, sparkling blue and caught a deep, rich,
Dreamy breeze.
Brown dirt footpaths can be quietly followed
Warmed by the heavenly sun.
Some summer days white clouds greet the bright, dancing sky
With a happy welcome!
A cliff not far from the woods where
A little berrying still can be done,
Might have helped an old, sacred homeland at one time
From being overrun.
Way up high this threshold enchants us purely
With a magnificent sight.
The cliff is now softly taken only by the
falling twinkling twilight.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
You can see Lake Innitou and Boston from the top of Rag Rock Cliff. Rag Rock is conservation land in Woburn MA where an Indian tribe used to live. I picked blueberries there in the Black Woods and played when I was a little girl.
