Won't you help support DayPoems? The Fern, the Woods and IBy William Brendan McPhillips21st CenturyI met a fern, today, an ancient plant, Its green, intensely, focusing the eye, And thought it so much older, yet I can't Ignore the actuality that I Am no less ancient in my trail of genes, And need to keep reminding me, we are, The fern and I, together in our teens Until we add the age of Earth, and star, To us, and know beyond this star, the Sun, Its lineage, a heritage we share The fern and I, the woods and Earth; each one Of us go back a ways, and need to care; Sometimes mortality among us crimps The look we give ourselves, and courage wimps.
