I found a place where I was lost
in green light on a forest floor,
refracted as the deepest sea.
Scattered, naked trunks of trees
towered like meaty kelp toward the sky.
An emerald surface dipped and swayed
by waves of leeward wind. The sun beamed
in slanted rays, a quiet serenade
through a still and misted air.
Dappled ferns carpet sandy ground
swaying with a verdant tide; drawn
deeper down by each fiddlehead
sun-tipped fractal curl to depths
a sailor might happily drown.
