drizzle spills
from low clouds
it only takes
one ray of light to warm
this morning’s forest

sweet music
where rain drops meet the flow
of a woodland stream
the way two waters meet
within sight of a mountain

here, in the forest
it is easy to feel at home dappled
with a sense of wonder
~ how rich life can be ~
when we drink from a well deep
within and believe when we see how
we are all part of nature
