June Forest
Beyond crowding dark trunks
a glimpse of golden honeysuckle
shines in the Sun,
promising
light and warmth and open sky.
Through the forest litter, deer
clear paths
sweep aside
low branches,
lead the way.
A bluebell meets
a path of light that slides
through the floating mist
between the trees
and shows what might yet be.
