when he runs through the woods
chasing moonbeams and sunshine.

of fall’s glorious fireworks
remains in the landscape.

Granite grows a rose
with lichen petals and lichen leaves.

the sun will unveil
today’s mystery and magic.

slow down a little, enjoy the scenery.

But he paddled furiously on
determined to miss every enjoyment in his path.

from Susan’s petals

slumber on soft grass

seducing birds

to feed the fern and bulbs.
