A sleepy idea stretches and
the whole trail follows.
A fern uncurls its feathers,
wearing a tiny backpack.
It appears overprepared.
Three sleepy pebbles decide
to become a path.
A fourth sleeps through it.
One cloudy morning, the forest
forgot what morning was supposed
to feel like.
The breeze was still deciding
which direction to wander.
The birds looked at one another
as if the morning had arrived
wearing the wrong hat.
Even the sunlight arrived a little
late, it had stopped to admire
a spiderweb.
Cindlet bounced once.
It wasn't a very impressive bounce.
In fact, a passing snail politely
pretended not to notice.
But the earth did.
The trail gave a tiny stretch.
A leaf applauded.
Its sandwich fell out.
Somewhere overhead, a cloud
remembered it had somewhere to be.
One bird cleared its throat.
Another started humming
to itself.
The creek laughed because
creeks usually know what
comes next.
Soon the whole forest was
awake again and stopped
walking on tiptoes.
Someone asked Cindlet how it
managed to wake everything up.
It looked around, wonderfully
puzzled.
"I thought you started."
The sun didn't argue.
After all...
it's difficult to know who lights
the first spark.
Especially when Cindlets are
involved.
The moon smiled upside down.
The earth whispered,"Wheee."
And there are popsicles on
Thursdays.
Every spark borrows
a little yesterday
