Woven Into Impossibility

Bows of green, moss and lichens,
moist in shadows glee,
lost from sunlight’s prow,
and textured vibrant leaves
clothe each branch, avowed,
above the thickest canopy,
of vines and leaves
struggling for the light,
all turned to face the giver,
like soldiers at attention mirror,
attest the warm invasion,
and through matted green
shards of blue delve deeply into
floors of mulch and dying,
as seeds aspiring
do rise to meet the light.
The air so damp, so sweet,
each breath like rivulets of flow,
and crystal clear those orbs
upon each bloom and form does show
reflections of the beauty,
the tranquil sigh of living beings,
in rhapsody of growth,
as light inspires the dotted floor,
the yearning shoots and
so much more,
here in nature’s ample bosom,
where life excels in quiet spells of intention,
and uplifting just to be
in this dimension of reality,
where perfection thrives,
and life aspires its own magnetic dreams.
I watch light dance upon the canopy,
like shining stars twinkling
in a green endless sky,
and each shard a fleeting meter gone by,
upon the earthy dark rich floor,
where birth and death assail,
yet quiet acceptance prevails,
and spores afloat on rising air,
propagate and grow this weightless fair
of emerging sentient minds,
following in kind their ancient wills,
long before this human race,
live well in mother’s grace,
the perfection of their ilk,
like silken views of majesty
woven into impossibility.
