Dare
If you wish to see us
said the mushroom
dare to look
deeper
go past the cheeky caps
sent tumbling through the forest
like a cart of ripe apples
overturned in the green
where they shelter new tales
each dressed to the gills
in a brief and
lusty arrival.
They are distracting.
It’s little wonder
that few remember
the source
of their tales
though it lies close beneath the duff
in a vast, rich sea
humming and nervy.
This is where to find it:
Life, spinning starlight
into the beginning of all stories
including your own
reaching across the veils
to be seen.

Beautiful, I love this one, especially the starlight spinning stories and the reference to the veils! And the image of the spilled cart of apples, perfect. Bravo as usual, Trisha 🙂
Oh thank you! This is such a lovely thing to receive. ❤️
