Inspiration, Title 1/ Delphic - Quote: The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me. Ralph Waldo Emerson Since, I was a child the forest has been my friend, I could wander all day dancing among the trees: there was such delight for me around each new bend, I would listen and feel the caress of the breeze; and it is in the forest I learned to transcend. Even on bright days the forest has shadows dark, my path decorated with roots and wild flowers: branches lashing, clashing and a screaming sky lark, yet, I am not afraid and wander for hours; the canopy above me like a curved green arc. Still the forest is a safe refuge so I go, I adore the ancient trees mystical secrets: and I search for the puzzling Delphic hidden glow, the temple priestess going deeper, so reckless; snaking vines grasp for me and green lattice leaves flow. The forest is a shrine strange, veiled, and intricate, an unfathomable puzzle mysterious: a place full of Delphic mystery infinite, often I feel immersed- drunk and delirious; and see sun in bright streaks and flashes scintillant.
