Life moves like water, steady then sudden,
a wide path through the landscape, followed by a narrow one,
a long line of sight then a sudden a hairpin turn.

Through the lens
a bug was a life, a persona,
a curious face.
Adventure beckoned that day,
little legs flailing over the apex of the leaf,
the hidden realm, a spectacular world of the unseen,
waving an invitation.
A telescope, a microscope, and a macro lens
to see all the realms,
yet so much remains undiscovered.
A scarab, a June beetle, an ambassador
made beautiful, friendly, curious.
Will you still yourself to listen, long enough to hear
the dragon, the scarab, the Red-winged Blackbird,
a forest choir singing the siren song?
