in the tangled forest



deep down a path in the forest
it is quiet, distant and isolated from the world
a small meadow of wildflowers sway in a breeze

the birds are singing a symphony 
I hear the violins drifting among the gnarled trees
a stream tinkles like bells being rung by angels

I rest in the tranquility of nature
the breeze caressing my soul and I feel wonderful
time is far away, things to do put on hold, paused

a gang of butterflies come fluttering
like painted candy they drift and glide here and there
then, are gone in one swift current of wind

next comes a hummingbird
I hear the whirling wings first as she stops for nectar
as I admire her sparkling in the sun like multi mirrors

I wish this interlude could last
but life is calling so I must go but I know this place
and will return often for a piece of tranquility

Your forest scenes are so enchanting, dear Constance ! I am sure in real life too, you make frequent wanderings into the hidden pockets of nature and enjoy the solitude there. "But life is calling" ! This line reminds me Frost's poem.... Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening !

Sometimes we must get away from the world and immerse ourselves in God’s nature. Very nice, Constance!
