Marginal
Life is richest
At the margins.
Wood edge, field side
Light and shade.
Butterfly places
Flower haven
Alive with bees.
I eat wild herbs
Underripe blackberries
Spot small birds
Too fast for naming.
Happiest at the edges
Where wild lives
Cling to the unwanted
Land at the boundary.
Untamed, uncut, unfarmed
But not unloved.

I can see those places with your words. Remember places I have been, I prefer ripe blackberries so sweet plucked from the wild 😊
