Question

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The more

I embrace

an Earth Centered Walk,

a Walk intent

upon Simplicity and Grace,

the more I am filled

with Simple,

almost

Childlike Questions

the Adult in Me

had long

since forgotten

to ask.

~~

And so what do

I ask this Day?

~~

Do Plants sleep?

My Shamrocks

in their Pots

upon the Window Sill

fold up

at night.

So does

the Clover

which grows

in abundance

outside.

Plants seem

to sleep in Winter

beneath fluffy blankets

of Snow.
