Nestled snugly
And bedded on silken strands
A subtle pop of pod
And coppery seeds explode
Lifted aloft by currents
Swirling glittery filaments
Floating on silvery threads
To distant gardens and groves
The dormant seeds take flight
In autumn’s sky blue weather
A gardener gathers some pods
For the silent burst waiting inside
