In My Mind

" A woodland path in the dappled sun, hushed and quiet." by a Rambling Poet In my mind I can wander down the path Feel the lovely peace of evening tide Escape the walls that hold me fast And with nature for a time abide I always loved to walk at sundown Feeling the passing of the day How I long to hear the bird songs and watch the squirrels at play My body has betrayed me now And can no longer take me there But the path is vivid in my mind And for that moment I have no care For the" Woodland Path" contest Barbara Gorelick 6/8/11 written for a friend who is bedridden
