ASPEN ARTISTRY

There’s beauty singing in the breeze

through mountain groves and aspen trees

Fall colors of the leaves unfold

once softer green

now brilliant gold

 

these hardy woods fast growing beams

share wood and bark as offerings

for shelter warmth and creature beds

a healing balm

of medicine

 

and there beneath the earthen deck

live tethered roots that all connect

a robust thread and weave so rich

in harmony

good  nature’s gift

 

this as in art the artistry

lies deep within humanity

each one of us uniquely spun

entangled we

with everyone
