Notes About The Poem

(my photo)

- Along a Path -

Stump, stone, cones and mushroom
                                seeds that drill down to re-emerge
                         One mushroom's hat has already been seized
                                 - a small piece of the forest's dish
                                        In the blissful play of life

                                    On a trust that falls randomly
                                         With freedom, mystery,
                                 silence and the qualities of silence
                                          ... a physical presence

                                      The deepest meaning of life
                                  must be, to seizing the moments

Caren Krutsinger August 3, 2021 at 4:41 AM Your beginning words compelled me to keep reading; I adored "mushroom hat". A notorious lover of nature you are, my poetic friend!

Jennifer Proxenos July 30, 2021 at 10:59 AM So well penned dear AL - you are a whizz at creating excellent poetry with such simple things in life. Never know which mushrooms to pick, if they are poisonous or not, but we haven't got such gorgeous green country grass, although I must admit one of or sons and his girlfriend are moving to the Mildands in Natal, the closest to green countryside in Europe and New Zealand of course. hugs and blessings, Jennifer,
