Spirits of the Earth

Light filters through the branches and dapples the grass.
Dew evaporates in the heat of the newly arisen Sun.
The brambles and thorns encircle, enshroud, and protect.
Inside this other-world,
in a time unto itself.
a tiny Earth spirit and others of its ilk,
sit on silver thorn seats.
And drink dew from blackberry cups.
