On the rainforest floor
Richly green and always moist
It is not life which is persistent
Must be tenacious
Bold
Resourceful
Richly green and always moist
It is not life which is persistent
Must be tenacious
Bold
Resourceful
But rather the sun
On intermittent cloudless days
Its light filtered by the canopy
To fine, piercing rays
As necessary to sustain life
As a desert rain
