Natures Path
By Curt Vaughn
The fire burns the new leaf sky under a blanket of fireflies. While we the trees converse
through winds of the new dawn until the new sunset brings
rolling rocks to our roots. After we have
eaten the rays and sampled the rivers of our youth, what
wisdom have we passed from branch to branch? And what new paths through the
forest have we made? Will we go
wandering or shall we stay in our already rich and fertile soil that
does not change and can be explained.
Let’s cast off the dead branches and grow new ones and surround us with
the fresh foliage of the spring of happiness. And let’s find contentment with
the wild animals that nibble at our feet and pass the dinner
plates of sharing to them and all that come along our path. For the wildfires of
time could come at anytime for one leaf, one tree, or even the entire
forest. The Trees do not make nature it self but the knowledge that
moves with the wind, water, and rocks along each path connects us as long we
keep exploring the known, and unknown paths.
And do not let the paths disappear under the moss of nature as we know it
can not be loss, in this you can always find your bright sky
and smile back at it and laugh for a while.
