Blooming Autumn

blushing hues

preserving precious nutrition

the sun is moving closer

releasing fingers that once reached high

tumbling to the ground

drying out, and crinkling

the sun is turning its face

allowing the next phase to begin

 

insignificant

like tiny ants crowding the cracks

minuscule

like the creeper ******* nutrients

*one "being" on earth

one earth, in the middle of "space"*

 

ancient methuselah,

your mycelium branching-

entwining, and communicating

giving strength to brethren

as hibernation takes hold

birthing fungi anew

 

***orange, browns, yellows and reds

i give my breath away***

*

Methuselah is a Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus longaeva) tree,

Its age of around 4844–4845 years makes it the world's oldest known living non-clonal organism
