🌀Spunky Mind Tricks


Quiet travels

Smile wider


The pond was listening

with its whole face.


Wind shuffled the leaves.


A heron wore one as a hat.


Two grasshoppers compared

their knees.


Nobody raised their voice.


The water wrinkled, then

forgot why.


A cricket leaned closer with

one shoelace untied.


Somewhere, a woodpecker

renovated the upstairs.


The pond listened harder.


Even the wind came back

to hear.


A caterpillar checked for

traffic.


Nothing was coming.


It crossed anyway.


See you on the trail. 🐾


dirt first

everything else is a surprise
