imagine seeds

roots tendrils

unfurling branching reaching

crown tree treeline gnarled oak ash aspen banyan camphor baobab swath forest

here

hear

listen know inhale co-regulate calm wilderness

creaking sway stay bend thunderous storm raindrops rivulets fell clearing opening patch sky

bluebird woodpecker swallow lark

dart weave pinprick gather constellate murmuration blanket

moss lichen sleep rumination hibernation cosmos mycelium

decomposition dirt-streaked barefoot running feral

pine-needle understory between earthen carpet perennial rabbit hole

hedgerow smeuse bramble ramble fawn moor headland shoreline inlet

float flotilla foothold faff about

decimate devastate cataclysmic wave

symphony chorus craft curl glint might yes

sunup sundown salmon-pink dusk inky intuit pitch black oblivion bliss

aurora dance elixir spell door liminal choreography endless

fleeting fireside hands wizened companion

daughter mother ancestral ephemeral

fable story lore myth map

maybe malarky

lost found path hearth home wandering

wondering roaming roving hiding

seeking going

stopping
