Eden In Passing

To enter the forest you must
                    know the characters by name
                    garter snakes that tempt
                    chipmunks the dog chases
                    undergrowth of grasses
                    on a hill that leads to the lake
                    and all is rich and green
                    childhood summers Eden in passing
                    lessons of fall to remember
                    in the winter of your life.
