With wide-eyed wonder he makes His way into the evergreen woods With the curiosity of a child Experiencing something new For the very first time. He takes an early morning walk In the young woods after eons So alive are the woods in spring! Sunlight that punctures the canopy Shining brightly on his face He enjoys the fresh smell of petrichor Taking in sounds of chipping canaries As he forges a path through The undergrowth, raindrops held up By leaves above splash atop his head. For the longest time, he's out In nature again. And what a time he had! He left the woods gliding his hands Over blades of grass waving Goodbye.
