A Woods In May

Path at Caratunk

Go down the path (notice the violets.)

Bridge at Caratunk

Cross the first stream. There are more ahead.

Moss on rocks by the edge of a stream

Think about how happy you would be if you were moss.

small plants and moss by a root

Look: Small things.

Folds in the bark of a tree

Strange things.

Small red leaves

Fiddlehead Fern

New things.

Rocks in the path

Old spreading roots

Old things.

Broken boardwalk

Broken things.

A whole new tree.

Things which are no longer the things which they once were.

    I so enjoyed this walk through the woods with you.
    They look familiar, like maybe I once had a life in a place where there were forests that looked like that- (there is something definitive about them…)
    It leaves me ready, but sad, to go study for my midterm.
