Poem

"to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature" William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1601:

Along a path of solitude I tread,
flanked on either side by watchman trees,
a lush green canopy above my head,
in foliage the flutter of cerise. . . .

I gasp to see two cardinals appear.
Then farther on, I spot a white-tailed doe!
She calmly meets my gaze and shows no fear.
I can’t imagine in this place a foe!

The trees, unwounded, stand with dignity.
And whether skies be bright or overcast,
they guard this realm, and one will shelter me.
I kick off shoes and stop for a repast.

Now barefoot and relaxed, I write this poem
in quietude of Mother Nature’s home.
