wonderful things
(07/01/05)

trodding feet on the trail, few
slithering snake on the twigs
ribbons of light through leaves
gentle water flows on the stream
a cardinal flapping her wings
these are few of wonderful things

blending with shrubs beneath trees
lying on leaves, feeling at ease
wind blowing, birds singing
patiently waiting for sunset
slice strawberries on a plastic bowl
so tasty and so beautiful

darkness came like a mist
as the tree leaves luminate
fireflies display their lantern
mosquitoes they just take turns
human steps muffled by ruffling leaves
crawlers coming out of their caves
