Down That Wooded Path

There are times when the spirit just needs a decent rest; the grinding of a city’s wheel upon the soul, leaves dusty debris in its wake. Peace of mind seems elusive at that point. I seek the solace that is nature. nature has her way of soothing the soul serenity trails Just one tranquil hike along the lakeshore, listening to the birds upon the boughs, the trickle of traveling waters and harmonic bliss has reduced the blare of horns to sweet music. a croaking frog sits by the lake wildflowers Night sounds sing me to sleep beneath crystalline stars; a shimmering sky overhead plays out its night scenes across the stage of the dreamtime. Nature’s children are safe in their slumber; nocturnal ramblings build their memories. oak and ash are safe havens hardwood homes Peace is every single step when you are in harmony with Gaia. Down that wooded path lay the passionate play of Elysian existence. I come here to find me. 3-11-2020 STRAND CHOICE C,any form,any theme Poetry Contest Brian Strand

Yes. Yes. YES!... So resonant. Love "I come here to find me." … For me, it's (almost) any body of water. Seems to restore me to equilibrium. I think it's related to the fact that we ourselves are mostly water and so is Earth. Thanks for the break from 'civilization!!' Smiles, Gershon
