Author's Notes: Another free verse poetic thought piece looking at the inner self, and one's relationship to nature via a vision of an enchanted forest from one's past days. (Gary Bateman - September 28, 2014)
I gaze at the edge of the forest and wonder of life therein. My native knowledge tells me there is much to marvel at. Whether it is morning, afternoon or evening Mother Nature’s intervening schedule is continuous, seamless, and wonderful. The forest displays a sense of beauty and at any given moment— a wild desire to be understood and appreciated. I know that when my days are numbered and short, I will conjure up in the depth of my consciousness a past image as a child standing at the edge of the forest— eternal in my studied gaze and enchantment of all that's wonderful and beyond description in God’s World.
