In the Afternoon Sun

in the afternoon sun

after a gentle rain

near a bubbling brook

where the deer do reign

breathe air pristine

lifting flowers scents

offering fragrance of

fairyslippers breath

Fairyslipper

a wild and tiny orchid

lives under the canopy of forest

a rare and delightful beauty

but do not step too close

for though it has a heavenly scent

you may damage its fragile roots

and then it will not grow back next year
