Salal dripping
Moisture rain-dew pockets
Feeding
The Earth yearning
For precious life
Hunger from the soil
Bleeds life
To tree, to flower, to fern
The children leap in puddles
Of sweet water
With parkas flying
When the sky cries
The World teems
With new awakening
It is the beginning
Salal...dripping
A pleasing collection of imagery, and clear, touching thoughts masterfully portrayed. I am curious; Salal? Never heard of it.
