Her smile, the twinkle in her beautiful green

Her smile, the twinkle in her beautiful green eyes...her voice.

I miss it all and more.

There is simplicity

In the subtleties of nature

Even complications

Have a rationale

Cobwebs span

A flight path

Invisible to the naked eye

Unless hung

With morning dew

Red deer will rut

To win their mate

Big cats cast out

Young males but still

Take pride

In family values

Shepherds tend their flock

To keep them safe

But sheep will follow

Anyone who leads

Them home

There is more to this

Than mere survival

It is joint enterprise

Unconscious collusion

The bird will eat the fruit

And pass the seed

Maggots feast on flesh

And break it down

It is more than chance

It is an earth song

Let it play on.
