“Do all stones speak?”
“No, only the ones that breathe.”

Oracle
I too have gone to live
in the woods
nothing novel in that
I have sat at the feet
of a turtle with the Buddha
on its back
I have seen the filament
in water that ladders
to the sky
I have echoed a chant
till the devils in me
conceded to vibrate high
I have marveled in tears
as eagles swept away
with my charge
I have danced in the fire of devotion
then sifted the ashes
of my own heart
I have gathered together pieces
of the greatest warrior
I’ve ever known
I have stepped from the threshold
most of my days without knowing
the depth below
I have gone to the woods
and I’m not coming back
until I can speak with stones

You might want to put an extra blank line of two between the end of the poem and ‘If you liked…’, which you also put as ‘I you…’ instead of ‘if you…’
Wonderful poem though. I really like all the references. 🙂
thank you Carol, I agree, thought I had left enough space but needs more for sure. I appreciate you visit and you advice, paz, abby
It might be a glitch with wordpress, I noticed after a couple of posts, that everything seemed to have condensed together.
Thanks again Carol, I am looking into it. I am aware of the missing photos and plan to remedy that asap. again I appreciate you comments
