May 23: Dedicated to the color BROWN

My mad dogs and Englishmen go out 
in the mid-day sun non-run

 (solo except for Alf, and distant as usual)

is dedicated to the color BROWN

I wasn't looking forward to featuring brown

it felt too easy 

and oh,so mundane

but I was astounded, astonished 

at how much beauty I found 

when I simply looked closer

Especially at the things sort of "past their prime" to my mind-set 

dried grass, "dead" leaves 

 but on thinking deeper

 imagine the tiny micro-organisms 

feasting, growing, living in decay 

in the scheme of things

How small is your world?

 How large is your Universe?
