sights, sounds, and smells

treedancer and I
while on adventure
this afternoon…...
the aspens were gathered
in tremendous conversation
thunderbeings threw a party
for mother earth, in adoration

something big was in the air
to those who step thoughtfully
and go forward with care

ant hills bustling
with energy like fire
not seen while stood upon
but their message became clear

dampness, tall grass
soft earth and mud
pine trees damaged
were hugged for love

evidence of turmoil
struggle and strife
amidst the forest
but springs new Life!

calm flowing shallows
and feirce running currents
nothing like lots of water
in busy running hurry

as crow prayed for peace
while we readied to leave
another day encountered
a lovely day to breath
