tall red maple leaves are inviting
we walk inhaling the cool light
moss, wood ferns, wildflowers edging
our pathway of pebbles & grass
we pass the storm-struck fallen tree
scattering bark, a haven shed
for chipmunks, squirrels, buzzing bees
and birds with wings of black & red
terrain is rugged yet wood-soft
at the credit river, we marvel-
wood duck, mallard, and blue heron
catching fish & blueing sky joyful
Riverwood, Mississauga City, Ontario
