La Faune

in darkness there shines 

moon and stars, 

tree and leaf, 

petal and flower - a man 

translucent with a forest glow. 

on colors subtle with 

winged-skin spread, 

flights of fancy shade the sky

as he gathers light 

from darkness 

to dawn. 

free and alive 

his voice is silent 

but for the fauna canopy 

rustled by wings 

of mottled imagination. 

along life's path 

this man in nature's image 

sings chameleon songs, 

music woven through lyrics 

of leaf and branch, 

shadow and twig, 

a melodic dance of left, right, 

here and gone. 

man and la faune, 

gather one to another, 

nature to heart, 

with eyes watching - 

watching creatures and flora 

and YOU. 

nature's child, 

both free and possessed, 

explodes with joy in  

high noon hues! 

    hat by sandra azwan

go now! 

walk the forest. 

hear tree and leaf, 

petal and flower.

under moon and stars 

watch for nature's child 

translucent with a forest glow, 

and know -

he is YOU: 

-l'homme, la faune et la flore!
