moss
the quietest
of revolutions
—Tony Williams
Wow! This blew me away!
Those words:
moss, quietest, revolutions, BEAUTIFUL!

I live in a cleaner town where moss and lichen abound due to lower pollution and a huge amount of trees, woodland, and an ancient forest, much of it protected by Bloody Mary, the first ever Queen Regnant of England (sister of Elizabeth 1st).

Lovely poem Tony. The subtle juxtaposition is immense.
Kind of you, Alan and Biswajit 🙏
