Starflower
little flower
elegant in your simplicity
delicate stamens
bright yellow anthers
star of the northwind
growing through the leaf litter
with the mayflowers,
lady slippers, the vole
the chipmunk, the fallen trees
the wild creatures of the wood
simple beauty of the forest
look down, pause,
and wonder
