I’m growing Food while the valley fills up with birdsong
While the pastures fill with wildflowers
While the bats flit overhead
While the otter slides through the crystal clear stream
While the worms work underground
Food and Nature
At the same time, in the same place
This is worth protecting
While the pastures fill with wildflowers
While the bats flit overhead
While the otter slides through the crystal clear stream
While the worms work underground
Food and Nature
At the same time, in the same place
This is worth protecting
Comments
While the mycorrhizal networks expand, spreading under the once damaged pasture, enriching the darkening soil.
While the beetle filled deadwood rots
While the voles hide from the kestrel
While moths fly
Food and Nature
At the same time, in the same place.
While skylarks sing
While the adders slide across the warming rocks
While the Cuckoos cross continents to come home
While the fat fox moth caterpillars crawl across the well trodden path
While bees bumble
Food and Nature
At the same time, in the same place
While the tadpoles swim around the ponds edges
While the insects rise from the damp grasses, thick in the still air
While the oak saplings push through the brambles
While the nightjars call in the half dark
Food and Nature
At the same time, in the same place
