early morning mood swings
early morning on a trail can be of mood swings:
bright dappled sunlight can lift the spirit,
as if nature smiles back at you,
then around a ridge direct light is blocked,
the mood switches to somber, muted,
in the light, on a favorite part of the trail, open with big trees,
I flush over 20 wild turkeys into flight,
my spirit lifts with them into the air,
around a bend not even wind seems to lighten the mood,
and mushroom after mushroom seem completely at home.
