lead me
where the tree is a cathedral
of colors
and the sky is a river of light
where simple joys
outshine any shadows of sorrow
stain the forest floor with
fat cheeks of ferns,
wild lips of flowers,
& poised coats of mushrooms
that I may see the
wisdom
of your brown-weathered palms-
that I may rest on your
bosom of green
and roots of serenity-
ink my pen
with dew and seed pods
from your autumn harvest
for today is a feast
of thankfulness for this good earth
