Touch.
Touch the summer grass.
Taste
Feel,
Its vibrant greenery
Its life giving light

Food for the autumn slug
Oozing through life
After the cool rains and winds
blow
Across the Pacific Ocean

Ooze
Thrive
Feast
Live

Because life
Is ever changing
as the seasons change

#poetry #mypoem

A juicy black slug snacking on the last summer grass
