At the Footbridge


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
     then-  I step on the stone bridge
        to slowly meander to the other side.

This poem has such a lovely lingering lazy feel. Makes me want to find this spot.
