For this week’s prompt, we're presented with a few poetic names from Bruce Hamana Sosei’s book, 100 Beautiful Words in The Way of Tea, and asked to pick the English version of one (or more) about which to wrap our own words.  I've chosen "green shadows" and "go search for fireflies".  Submitted to Poets & Storytellers United, January 20, 2021'

.

In the forest, among

the green shadows,

go searching for fireflies

as the leaves of the great

oaks whisper age-old

secrets.

Here is peace.
