Walk softly upon the earth
when in the forest you go
for that to which you may tread upon
can take thousands of years to grow
I’m speaking of the lichen
that is brittle when it sleeps
waiting for the waters
as it slowly grows and creeps
in shallow soil
sun-baked rocks
along a decayed wood
on tree branches, also bark
found all across the world
in hues of green, red, orange and yellow
and also that of black
It’s really two plants
growing together as one
each providing
what the other lacks...
