Wonderful poem – thank you
A beautiful poem. the chosen imagery reflects the mood of time passing. thank you brad for writing this one.
I love lichen poems! What a gentle juxtaposition. And nice "l" sounds! I have no doubt you grace your hometown in a like fashion!
That moment of awakening to where you are / find yourself. Well done.

A beautiful poem, Brad.
It does reflect the mood of time passing as Stanford remarked.
Lovely to read out loud too.
Thank you.
