Tissue (single word challenge)

Revealing him as he wanders among
His friends, watering.

Phlox and foxglove, rose and daisy;

Briefly captured a single moment
Before night’s dark wings enfold all
As a hen gathering her brood. . . .

A man of sorrows
He was acquainted with grief
We esteemed him not

who decided to build a canoe,
