The Woods
Sylvan creatures whispering by
Yet out of sight from human eye
Enrich this dusk filled leafy glade
And make me feel at peace
Stalwart trunks and time roughened boughs
With rustling leaves seem to arouse
Within this hallowed dappled shade
A sense of biding peace
The path is leading me away
And even though I wish to stay
This memory will never fade
I’ve found some inner peace

Very peacefull I found your words. The forests have that effect. Lisa’s photos with your poem will be a perfect match. I love how the path leads you away. Paths seem to always do that to me. Thank you for sharing such a serene moment. Carrie

It is a long time since I felt creative, Lisa. No excuse, I just don’t feel it right now. The sun is shining brightly here, so I cannot even bla
