Days surround the Buck Moon
Snowy crickets and katydids
pass through nymphal instars
to journey into another year.

Snows-of-winter visions
both behind and in front
day lilies, already in bloom
in gardens dancing with toads.

Wild blueberries sweetly ripe
colorful, succulent on the bush
say Hello to the new moon
and summertime enjoyment.

Saxifraga and bluebells
seen on high mountain climbs
Meadowsweet and Steeplebush
bloom freely in abandoned fields

Indian Pipes push themselves
up through the silent forest floor.
Walkers of the earth, breathe in
smell, taste, see, feel, wanting more.
