Amazing

1.

The way the soft
first light of dawn
finds its way
through needles
of black spruce,
as water works
its inexorable pathway
through rock.

2.

The way a stark
slab of granite will
become a garden
where mosses
and lichen precede
birch and pine
and root themselves
to court the sun.

~ Glen Sorestad
