Alone In the Woods

In a wooded area runs a path seldom trod it forks off then divides one leads to the river bank where beavers built a bridge of logs, mud and stone the water just trickles at one end while holding back the river water the other leads deep into a dense evergreen forest filled with tiger lilies, ferns thistles and green moss the denseness can confuse you can lose direction easily if not familiar you can become lost in the thick undergrowth of the forest so you had to pick your path wisely and know your way or get lost and wonder half the day finding your way out like the forest we have to see a clear path in life and do our best not to get lost in everyday things.

Thanks for making it one of your fav. It is from my childhood and we would pick mushrooms and cross the river on the logs the beavers would pile up. Nice to grow up with nature. love phyl

Hello Phyllis … nicely described bushwalking event Phyllis. I loved walking beside creeks in deep valleys with the cool air and ferns dominate. I would have loved to see a beaver's home. Nothing like that down here - thanks again Phyllis - Lindsay

Thanks for your comment and yes guess you would not have a beaver living in your area down under. Could always come to visit and see a beavers house. This is a forest where I grew up. So I guess thoughts of my childhood. love phyl

I need to find one of those paths because I seem to wander around lost most of the time. Really nice Phyllis, I like were this poetic path leads.

- I'm bad at direction senses, Phyllis - Sounds like a beautiful fairytale forest :) - It's easy to get lost both in the forest and in the everyday labyrinth - Lovely poem :) - Best wishes on a lovely weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

This was a forest near where I grew up. It can easily confuse a person but is also nature at its best. love phyl
