or
how tall the trees seemed
or
how the sun warmed my bones
was playing a tune called
"the millions of bees"
opera
growing up from under
tumbled over
moss covered
termite eaten
tree trunks
the water cress looked as it blanketed
the little creek
I can't tell you the shade of purple these wild flowers were
as humans have never been able to duplicate it
so there's no name for it
I can't tell you how fun it was to hike up
this dry creek bed
with nothing to walk on but
moss covered rocks and flimsy tree trunks
and
I can't tell you how cool I think mother nature
is for creating
spongey fungus
~~
but I can try to show you
~~
unless you'd rather just come with me next time
?

Keep telling me. Keep showing me. But one time, if I'm a really good, really lucky girl, I'll come with you so you can show me all of these wonderful things!

ReplyDeletesigh. Between this post and the next and my inability to stop listening to Susan Boyle singing Cry Me a River, I'm just a wet teary-eyed blissed out rag o'woman. Rag O'Woman is going to become a new 'persona' within, I have realized. I want to come along when you, Holly, Cam and Misty go, so be sure to phone me up. We'll crunch over tree trunks and slip on moss and shoot photos of nature and each other and play tag (because I ALWAYS want to play tag in natural places) ... thanks so much for the invite.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post, pictures and words! Thank you for letting us be a part of your hike. Isn't Mother Nature just amazing- especially like when she pulls out all of the stops in spring.
