Come With Me

I took a trail that I had never taken
before.
A journey anticipating the
unknown 
a sweet invitation to
excite my senses. 
There was an aged
forest of oak 
under their canopy of
dark leaves, 
forming a secret sanctuary.
Birds trilled from the trees
trailing slashes of color 
across the landscape.
A river of bright water was nearby
shimmering in a stray sunbeam. 
It rushed heedlessly over crags
pooling in fern-crowded shallows. 
This place is lush with living things
perfumed by blossoms 
cloaked in misty rain.
Soft buttercups nodded their 
dainty heads in the tall grasses.
Come.
Enchantment awaits my friend...

There is a good amount of toned imagery in your lines. For some odd reason, Peter Pan came to mind...very, very well done, Athena!
