Through winters long dark keep
A seasonal and silent gathering
Bodies cluster wing to wing
On rocks and logs and leaves
On stems, the ground, the trees
Cold and clear flows the creek
A watery lullaby for them to sleep
Ladybugs settling down to rest
The moment before snows drift
Lovely! I wish I were getting out in the woods with you! My back still has me immobilized unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! When you are feeling better I'd love to show you this spot.
