Nothing Is Wasted

in the woods
(except what people discard, 
but that's another story):
fallen limbs, branches, trees
house small animals; 
their stumps provide perches
or pecking places; 
on decaying wood
mosses, lichens, fungi 
sprout forth, burning
like little suns on dark days;
and sometimes people
build a fire or construct 
an artful shelter
for no reason
other than joy.
