A Forest Life

Twenty years in the forest –

watching trees grow –

watching trees fall down –

What have I learned from this?

That trees grow up –

That trees fall down.

   *          *          *

Blazing in the sun –

white glare off the grass blasts the eye.

Green light off the sun beams the sea.

Light through leaf and light through green –

The beetle shuffles.

Sing birds your chirpers to the sea’s boiling roar –

Drowning sunbeam’s silent rush through space.

   *          *          *

Chiff-chaff a chatterjack crackle -

Crow scaw a roeking mock in black –

Buzzy bumble a bee go gathering.

Leaf’s banner’s spread and Spring declared.
