LET'S FIND PEACE IN THE WOODS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
serenity's hushed song
wooded forest beckons
clothed in green, great arms wave,
benediction of leaves
their embrace welcoming
pulse of woods beneath me
peace—slow, unfolding grace

Valsa George September 17, 2025 at 10:01 PM Green is a soothing shade and a forest where trees stand erect and boughs gently wave and hug, is a place where serenity resides. The lure of the wooded forest is mesmerizing. Lovely little poem, dear Sara
