Veterans Freedom Park, Westborough Conservation Land, Massachusetts
Over here, imbued with delight,
the colors and patterns weave through, meet each other in wind swirls.
Homey aliens on these grounds,
the result of persistent farming by the colonists who decimated indigenous woodlands.
Hence the meadows,
a whole host of life, flourish in their own right.
Except they cannot survive without human help,
since the trees have always taken chances to return to their native parcels.
And so it goes, nature gets along with humans, sometimes...
