  1. I love lichen poems! What a gentle juxtaposition. And nice "l" sounds! I have no doubt you grace your hometown in a like fashion!

  2. That moment of awakening to where you are / find yourself. Well done.

  3. A beautiful poem, Brad.
    It does reflect the mood of time passing as Stanford remarked.

    Lovely to read out loud too.
    Thank you.
