A Woodland Path

" a woodland path in the dappled sun, hushed and quiet." Under a leafy canopy I walk, along the familiar wooded trail. Pine needles crunch beneath my feet. Birds take flight, justly annoyed. Communing with nature on this warm, spring morn, peace fills my soul. I walk on, loving life. Life, hectic, confusing, stressful at times. A walk in the woods is my peace and comfort, reminding me what is real and what is important in life. Here mind, heart and soul come together and together they find a clarity. ~~~by Francine Roberts~~~ for Constance's 'A Woodland Path' contest 6/6/2011

Love this piece Francine. Nature is so good at reminding us of whats real and important as you so aptly described. Great last line. I'm pleased you have a space that does this for you, unfortunately i can never get to mine as often as i would like! maybe that's what poetry is for! Best wishes to you Em :)
