Kiss Of The Sun


















A bright, flighty flock
of goldfinches, settled
within the embrace of an
old forest hemlock sweeten
the air with their chorus
of notes embroidering
the atmosphere.

Below, on the forest floor,
where grasses grow in a
tangle, bloom buttercups
and cinquefoil, bright and alert
to the kiss of the warming sun.

Oblivious of their visual
counterparts high above
under the same life-enhancing
orb in league with nature's
existential protocol.
