Under Giant’s Eye

A view of our sleeping giant, Fall Mountain, North Walpole, NH

 I was raised in the shadow of the mountain;

an ever-present, ever-watchful giant

who vigilantly guards our village.

A fierce protector; we’d rarely hear

his voice except when thunder threatened…

then when he would echo a noise

so loud…so terrifying… it

could chase any storm away.

Returning to my village, 

once again I feel the

giant’s watchful eye,

and know that I am home.
