It lingers in forests deep,
where the machinations of man
are but
a distant memory.

It sleeps in peaceful dreams,
for it is one
with the earth.
There is no discord here,
only the seasons
which pass, as
artists of the landscape.
Each with a fresh
and vibrant palette
to work it’s temporary
masterpiece.
Here, bejeweled
in the season of ice
awaiting no one
to see it glisten
in moonlight’s glow.
