So many leaves
God inspired origami
Infinite shades of green,
Thick and thin,
Delicate and waxy.
Branches mottled,
Wrapped in lichen-inspired bark,
Shaped by the teeth of elk.
Abundance of sea shells,
Sculpted by wind and water,
Tiny internal residents
Turning out meat and pearls,
Minute factories in
Shades of pink and peach,
And sometimes darkness.
Myriad eye-catching stones,
Round or jagged,
Inclusions and brightness,
Composition, hardness
Driven by internal physics
Christened by exposure
An inert celebration.
Butterfly with wings
So clear, I see through them
Like a window. A splashy tree frog
In Tinkertoy yellow and blue,
Climbing trees on sucker feet.
An unexpected field of pink grass.
Snakes sliding gracefully on the surface
Of primordial lakes so deep
We cannot fathom
How they came to be.
The coming and going of rain.
