Tis Now – the time to buzz and squirm,With all the chaos teemingJust inches below our calm bright surface;Hordes edging – hedge dwellers daring –To breach our garden’s brims,To claim for their own – the upper Earth –The overground, to infiltrate our homes –And build castles in our crumbs What a quaint revolution to witness,SuchContinue reading “Some little things 🍀”

Oh be still! Be still – my heart!
