Spring Harvest

Spring Harvest

We searched that day
for morels and fiddleheads
no words, no sounds, except the wind.

The rock laden stream followed us
deeper and deeper into wooded fields,
side by side seekers.

Heads bowed, eyes on nature’s floor
suddenly spied the curling greens
and soft brown spongy shapes.

We knelt as one, upon soft damp earth
hands outstretched to pluck the harvest
foretaste of the meal to come,
wild succulent edibles of spring.
