Captivating Woods

"In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks."
                                                                     - John Muir

"I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees."
                                                                    - Henry David Thoreau

                     I take a stroll mid the trees tall,
        To my troubled soul, a cure-all,
Listening to the crushing leaves,
                    My lonely heart comfort receives,
        The song of the birds captivates,
Calling out to me as time waits,
                    I weave through tangled branches deep,
   Through shadowed woods, my eyes, they sweep;

                    I take in the beauty of Spring,
        The charmed allure of everything,
Captivates my heart and my soul,
                   In here, I feel revived and whole,
         Attractions plenty to ponder,
Slowly I pause, breathe and wander,
                     When I feel blue, none to delight,
      A walk in the woods makes it right.

Rico Leffanta January 22, 2022 at 10:49 AM One of the first things to impress me upon my arrival in Germany, was the family custom of going for a walk in the forest on Sundays! Enjoyed, Jo!

Paulette Calasibetta January 22, 2022 at 9:19 AM A beautiful journey through the woods and all I had to do was sit here, at my computer. Thank you for sharing this lovely piece! Good luck in the contest! Blessings, Paulette

Victor Buhagiar January 22, 2022 at 6:30 AM In Malta we have only a very small wood and I haven't been there for ages. A walk in the woods should do wonders for one's health.
