Dirt Roads Beckoned


the journey began
on roads made of earth


where forests once stood
until a fire gave birth


as time passes on
trees live once again


the road lined with flowers


 and berries galore


beckoned me on 
to where the forest still reigns


creeks rushing through them


meeting on the valley floor

this morning i was awoken 
by the sound of pop pop

can you guess?

the squirrels are preparing for winter
they climb up to the tree tops
then drop the tiny pine cones down to the earth
pop pop pop
 
then scurry to stash them for winter cuisine

tis the season

Refreshing

I thought to give you
cool lake water


dancing with sunlight
on beautiful rocks
~

Lace of the Forest


like lace
ferns draw our gaze to their intricate forms


tight spirals

soon to unfurl


wonderful characters 


in a multitude of expression


spirals
catch our heart and eyes


beauty
for us to enjoy
