"Has solitude ever led your steps down a forest path to linger."

                  Quote by _ Poet

Forests are my safe sanctuary, where among trees I find breathing space; I find refuge when I need to be solitary. Down green hued paths are bird songs merry, each view, smell and sound I embrace; forests are my safe sanctuary. The wind flows over me fresh, cool and airy, and I love the wildflowers like Queen Anne's lace; I find refuge when I need to be solitary. In nature all my sadness and grief I can just bury, finding instead a portal to a magical place; forests are my safe sanctuary. I stop to rest and eat some wild raspberry, noticing how the sky, clouds, and trees interlace; I find refuge when I need to be solitary. In time my soul and mind is no longer weary, and I am left with nature's blessing and grace; forests are my safe sanctuary, I find refuge when I need to be solitary . . . ____________________ August 14, 2022 Poetry/Villanelle/My Sanctuary Copyright Protected, ID 08-1480-054-14 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France
