James Marshall Goff Poet Imagism

A Bench In the Woods

a fine mist quiets the forest floor,
 
an acorn drops from above,
                                                   with a thud 

a crisp oak leaf spirals,
                                            gently to the ground

a burbling brook,
                                   feeds it's trout 

in a while, my heart joins in 

 .... and worries drift away
