Walking through the trees
The crunch-swish crunch-swish under my feet
I happen upon a creek, smell the wet moss
Peering, leering to take a peek
At the water skipper dancing in the stream
We have similar desires you and me
To float along in this world unseen
Specks on a globe of blue-grey green
The secrets to life i wish you to impart on me
Your existence seems so simple and free
Reaching my hand in to catch a kindred soul
It paddles away as the water flows.
Leaving me to ponder the complexities within
Myself and the forest
As twilight begins…

- Comment from author about the poem: As a child I was always playing in the forest, catching bugs, picking flowers, or making mud pies. This poem represents our connection to nature and all beings on the earth both big and small.

Great reflections here. When you think about it,all life on earth is just one big food chain,..life either adapts to changes or goes extinct. Survival of the fittest. Thanks for sharing.🌞✌🕊
