Back out into the wet woods Walking and hiking But always looking, watching, Searching for that one moment when the beauty of creation finds a ready observer
Do you really see when you are out there? Peer through the underbrush, the straight lines for the curve of the slipper caught in midair above its stem, lost in the green. Pink and white amid the pine, birch, maple and oak.
Climb the trail up the granite, stop to gather mica watch the mud see the deer tracks and crushed princess pine, framed by checkerberries.
Rush of the falls curtain down the cliff Real reward For my quickened pulse and wet brow.
Descend again, but not too fast. Don’t want to miss The second act of the drama. The actors deserve no less. My best to the Director.
