Into the Woods

INTO THE WOODS Into the woods, I stepped one day, And found myself 'mong trees With rustling leaves, a mocking jay Was whistling with the breeze; Into the woods, deeper I went, And found myself 'mong rocks With verdant moss, a striking scent Was mingling with green stalks; Into the woods, I slowly strode, And found myself 'mong shade With bright sunlight peeping through holed Gaps in the gleaming glade; Into the woods, do come with me, Let's saunter through the trees, Come, let's refresh our minds busy Amidst the birds and bees. 01.11.19

Jo, I had to come see the original from which your excerpt was taken. I do love the woods and find them so otherworldly and peaceful. Like hitting a reset button from the harshness and hurries of city life. Love "Gaps in the gleaming glade". Hugs ~ John
