Somewhere Alone on the Forest Floor
by
Doug Larson
at rest in loam
and quiet earthen smells
I glimpsed a thought
fresh as dewdrop memory
carefully bend a leaf to the ground
raised veins magnified
large in the morning sun
a microscopic vision of a miracle in humble green
contorted under clear water weight
a prism rainbow of refracted enlightenment flashed
in brilliant tutti frutti flavors
and for one singular moment frozen
a snowcone of relativity
time stopped
and all that was left
was God
