They clamber up the mountainside
The lofty trees
With mighty boughs
And riffling leaves
The lofty trees
With mighty boughs
And riffling leaves
Fir and cedar, conifers
And alder with its lighter leaf
Like steps of cones
All feathery
But my lens
Sees everything
Grand patterns lost
In details keen
So back at home
I fiddle on
Some sleight of hand
Restores the stand
Near what it was
When mind first saw
Patterns made
With Nature’s law
Conifers and Alder
