Ferns have been around a long time
Eons
Deep reaches of fossiltime
Watching them erupt and uncurl
Provides a pathway to primordial memories
Spores left in DNA
Back to the garden
Back to innocence
When evil wasn’t a valid concept
Joyous green fronds
Laughing at falling leaves
Seasonal offbeats
Reaching up
Catching elementals
Sun and rain
Cycling through life and death
For eternity
Or now

I really like the image of the fronds laughing at falling leaves. Beautiful, David– and nice pics!
Thanks – I met somebody in the park a year or two ago who called herself a poetographer and I guess it must be catching!
🙂 much nicer to catch that than a cold!
