Exploring the trail
a scientific adventure
wanting to know more
there will be no censure
Examining the trees
such beautiful bark
the backbone of the forest
the contrast is stark
Farther down
looking at life in the river
fish everywhere
a snake begins to slither
Now seeing wild life
deer and squirrels
playing delightfully
running in circles
Food abound
acorns everywhere
a winter food drive
before the trees are bare
Loving the ecosystem
amazed at its sufficiency
such a wonder
like a symphony
All is interwoven
a mutual dependency
all things have a purpose
nothing works separately
Walking home
a smile on my face
having learned so much
about how the forest is interlaced
