Coming back down…

coming back down, sun
flashes through branches
thick old tree
past the tree god shrine
mottled light on the steps
leaves moving, gentle wind
smiles of the temple folk
linger down along the trail
green leaves, old tree trunks
worn steps, homage sticks
set in a rock crevice
craning the neck to look back up
wanting to linger, steps slow
a gibbon padding along behind
