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...
