into the air, onto the trees.

In the magic hours the forest glows
as trees catch the sun and release their dreams.

The shadow of a trinity of trees across rock
marks one of many spots to worship in the woods.

The February forest offers
ten thousand shades of grey,
haven for the mourning dove.
Carpet
The forest’s berber
is a durable oak.
In the Valley
farms and forest prepare themselves
for the demands of winter.

After the leaves are gone
lichen paints the forest green.

where the forest kin celebrate harvest.

a mountain with moss trees for insects to scale.
Back Light
the illuminated leaf
lights the forest journey.

you are not alone.
The trail is marked.
Limbs and Leaves
A web of leaves.
The forest is a tapestry.

Ancient acorn woman
wanders the forest floor
tends the wild rose

Mother Nature’s remnants
speak to me
of the secret lives in the forest

This is the forest’s shooting star.

Not even your magnificent camouflage
can obscure your vibrant alive-ness.
