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!
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!
