A Walk In the Woods

"Walking trough the woods, I let my mind wander all I could Hoping the shackles of a busy world will fall away, To lighten my step when this burden gives way To allow the beauty of the forest, To resonate within me with its chorus The melodies of the lark, Plucking the strings on my heart The caw of the raven, That I am intruding it’s haven The scent of the canopy of fir trees, What a wonderment it is to believe All the facets of life, And God’s perfection to make it right I happen upon a moment of stillness, Surrounded by nature’s brilliance And observe the majestic sight, Of an eagle in flight It’s strong wings, wave easily, So powerful an image this native deity It circles over the lake, Searching for a fish he can take To share with its hatchlings, I am left to wondering That even in the calm of nature, There is always a danger To be food for another prey, As in life every day Remember to live for the moment, And embrace all of life’s enjoyment For tomorrow may not be there for us, Which is why, in God we trust"
