Standing tranquilized for a moment
in the shade of a newly leafed tree
as a small woodpecker tapped away
Realizing a remarkable aliveness
that is mysteriously stirring…an aura
of animation within an unscripted display
Focusing attention to roughly textured bark
fostering a previously overlooked community...
a bustling metropolis within its shades of gray
Extending my hand with fingers spread...
careful not to disturb splendid creatures
as they traveled mindfully on their way
Motionless and magnetically affixed
watching curiously…admiring coexistence
While the travelers seemingly shyed away
Coal black ants and dusty-gray spiders
scurried… never crossing random avenues
as a tiny green winged explorer strayed
My transfixed gaze marveled...
Admiring uniqueness and compatibility
on this particularly peaceful day
