At the footbridge, I stand musing at my discovery, I began my country hike early in the morning; Oh what a find- this old mossy stone bridge, And under, a gentle forest creek silently flows on. It is such a lovely scene, I want to linger and dream; Where hidden birds are singing, Perhaps take out pen and paper. The ground is covered with tiny wildflowers, And mighty trees droop giving shade as I rest; And then- I step on the stone bridge, And slowly meander to the other side. _________________________________ July 22, 2016 Poetry/Verse/The Stone Bridge Copyright Protected, ID 16-810-936-0 All Rights Reserved.
