What humans
name restored
nature
has reclaimed
reasserting
in our
retreat
reaffirming
how fleeting
our influence
and how
unpredictable
nature's
return
After the photo
is taken
I look
with my true eyes
take in
see
color
raining from clouds
rivers of color
all flowing
to a sunburst pool
of light
Nature's art
evolves
a collaboration
of growth
decay
and time
what emerges
what is worn away
what is born
what is lost
What if
the sky
was the surface
of an ocean
the air
fast moving
water
the trees
swaying
in the current
Where
would I emerge
if I swam
higher
higher
until I reached
the invisible
shore
The clouds
brood
over the afternoon
harbingers
of a change
on the wind
Wild
with
within
without us
Wild
reflects
reimagines
reinvents
Wild
survives
Each tree whispers
to the dawn breeze
in its own
language
Crabtree
Aspen
Birch
Evergreen
