Mother Nature's Tapestry At Her Best

She is an unsung, unaware, unbridled, unsuspecting scene, deep in the woods, lost in time. Not ventured into by hunter, or explorer for nigh onto thirty years, full of undisturbed cobwebs, Large, and beautiful, intricately built by joyful diligent spiders, who have orchestrated them as delicately As a maestro, taking their sweet time, using inner knowledge to enthral and entrap their prey. Birdsong lullabies rarely glide through this forest, but the hoot of an owl can be heard nightly. Wolves, skunk, fox, and beaver, do not notice the owl any more, focused on scavenging and hunting. Raccoon and opossum scurry in the underbrush, hesitating only when encountering anything strange. The mirrored pond, where animals gather, but only with their own kind, is the focus of the night. Opalescent reflections of moonbeam light her, a beautiful contrast to the shadow dreams of the trees. Mother Nature’s tapestry at her best, she will instantly enchant anyone brave enough to venture near. Her affinity with twilight spirit, and her joy of being undisturbed, and undeveloped, keeps her safe. She gathers her sleeping menagerie to her breast, watching them sleep, unsung protective mother forest.

Hello Caren … a poem close to my heart for certain. In pristine forest everything services a purpose to balance nature - and then humans came along - thank you Caren - Lindsay

Yes, utter solitude is the best way to "savor" the magic of nature... The only company I could ever take on my walks was my dog- and at times she was a distraction, too!
