***
Eyes glued to cell phones
Miss the flowers by their feet
They call. No response.
***
Countless critters crawl
Weaving along the branches
The purpose of life.
***
Falling. Where is the ground? I
laugh. Oh, silly me.
***
The wrinkles of bark
Read as braille, while moss tries to
Decipher secrets.
***
Red and yellows turn
To brown. A cycle of life
and death. Green again
