Perditus, I do like what you say in your post, The Weary Mole!

To which I reply:

Admire, eat and

smell the flowers

squint into the light.

Embrace the new dawn

but don’t shrink back

into your

comfy hole

like a coward

in the night.

Oh, Weary Mole

don’t hide away

cowering

till that

proverbial

another day.

Don’t hide away

NO

don’t hide away

Frightened Out-of-Sight!
