Deep Green Forest

Far into the deep green forest
there is a lady slipper
Blooming all alone in the trees
a delicate sight to see
As if a princess left it there
on the lovely walking path
When the prince swept her off her feet
a trace of love, still behind
Near gurgling brooks and waterfalls
splashes of joy all around
Here within the deep green forest
blooming love is to be found

Joe Dimino Date: 2/4/2022 1:21:00 PM Deep green, brown, orange etc. are all so alluring. I guess the memory of earth in our DNA. "Here within the deep green forest blooming love is to be found" Beautiful! I think that when we quiet everything else, get back to our roots, closer to our natural source -- there is only love. Joe.
