Boulders and Blueberries

 

An unlikely pair

Blueberries growing in the crevice of a lake- facing boulder

I climb, and know my steps

I memorized them forty years ago

 

The rocks that looked so strewn about

Once observed, become a map

A pathway to what I truly desire

To touch the leaves of a wild blueberry

Growing solitarily from a rock

I see its blossoms now forming fruit

What was alone will attract many

 

There are aspen and birch seedlings

Growing next to an established birch

Offering its sheltering arms

To rest upon or under

 

Hummingbirds

Honey bees

Me

Blueberries
