Forrest Floor

It courses majestic on the ground Moss and ferns in miniature world A masterpiece tapestry of life All hidden in the endless shade Silent hands writing Giant arms waving above The trees melody A clearing caught the light And sparkled in the sun A second rain fell from the leaves Like cradled drops of life The squirrel scurries To his home up high above Nested in the sky Always growing, changing new Mushrooms, yellow, orange and white So many kinds that I lost count Chaos organized so well beneath the trees Nature astounds green Upward growing to the sky Shrouded in the light Peace is rising from the floor I feel the song within my soul Fed by myriad leaves all grows In harmony and verdant care Written 11-15-15
