The forest is celebrating deep summer
embracing the heat and humidity casting
the shadow of its canopied leaf mass on
its interior; cool, dark and shaded yet
inviting the wind to enter and gently stir
rain-laden branches creating micro rainfalls
after all-night storms that broke into dawn
with crepuscular light intensifying the
green shades of conifers and deciduous
the forest understory and bracken replete
with ripening berries and feral apples as the
morning sun filters its bright rays within. The
forest stream swollen with stormwater and
the meadow astride it abuzz with pollinators
harvesting goldenrod and purple loosestrife
in a landscape tempered by inclination to
nature's instructions and her elements.
