Instructions for a Moss
Find a wall.
Send tendrils
into mortar.
Suck moisture
from the air.
Turn light
into life.
Tip-toe
your plush
greens
over stones
so slowly
no one notices
you’ve taken
the wall.
Happy Saturday.
Liz

“Like.” 😉
Hey! Thanks for visiting me here.
Beautiful, Liz! I love “Turn light/into life.”
Thank you. I was happy when that phrase wandered by and I could grab it.
Me, too. Fabulous.
Thank you! Is it warm there? Can you send me a few rays of sun?
You noticed. And now the secret’s out. 🙂 Love “Tip-toe/your plush/greens”
Thanks, Michelle! Tip-toe is my favorite word in the poem.
