Moments of Healing

* This poem was inspired by Alexa Brus and I want to dedicate it to her. Thank you for the inspirational photos, Alexa. Love you, Carolyn day-to-day anxieties require decompression miraculous healing powers await courtesy of Mother Nature strolling through the field of daisies I make my way to an enchanted forest flora and fauna unmatched hiking through the shady trails canopy of cedars above my head remarkable wildflowers and ferns line the path tension releases as I hear the stream toes dip in refreshing cool waters summer’s heat alleviates stress disappears and calmness overcomes beauty of a Canadian woodland fills my spirit with peace and joy heading home in late afternoon I emerge from the woods finding God’s artistry in a sky of flaming splendor my escape my path my connection to the glory of creation

Beautiful imagery - and a lovely dedication to Alexa. Yes, the Duke of Clarence was once suspected of being the Ripper, but he had an alibi for one murder - I think it was the last (and worst). I suppose no one will ever know the killer's identity for sure - although, every year or so a new suspect is named!
