Near the path, yellow
ladyslipper orchids await
Cinderella's step
~~~~~
Paths through birch trees
luring eager supplicants
to discovery
~~~~~
Striped chipmunks race
cheek pouches filled with seeds
dreams of winter cold
~~~~~
Mossy rocks under
dappled shade shelter hidden
gnome universes
~~~~~
Cedar cloaks the limestone
leaf coins dance in breezes
Clearing souls
--Barbara Malcolm
