"Has solitude ever led your steps down a forest path . . . "
Quote by Constance La France
Where crickets chirp and birds harmonize
With leaves who breathe in… rich colors, hues
Burgundy whispers and amber mysteries,
Dancing through time, imitating the rhymes
Discovered in the lights, rays passing by…
Satisfying smiles, nature’s insights
Into the soul who knows
The abundance of words, even unheard…
Can never erase the sights and sounds
Pouring from the earth, breathing inspiration
Freeing the imagination… for the luxury of love
Glowing in the starlight shimmers, abiding
In the intimate glimmers of sunshine smiles,
Everlasting serenity flowing through the flames,
Burning away the past’s blaze, the doubts,
The dread, the fears and tears… all wiped away
By the hand of nature’s moist rain, her soothing
Grace, abiding in the air…
Carrying away the melancholy night,
In hands far surer than any doctor’s knife,
Dissecting my life, cutting away the sacrifice
It is in the sigh of lavender violets,
Tender caresses of dandelion, vibrating hope
Answering the prayers of a heart who is…
Silenced by the echoes of freedom,
Fulfilling the desires inside the dreams,
The insecurities left to swim…
In pools of darkness, dimmed
By mossy rocks, slippery
Praising as the oaks, the pine….
Promising no soul is left behind
Picture the flow of a quiet stream,
Graceful, gushing, growing… fluid feelings
Running over the moments, sinuous waves
Inspiring the serenity of a place, nature’s tears
Fall soft against the beginnings of something
So real, so real that the silence speaks…
Shouting, screaming, screeching
Crying out to the rich earth…
Is the heart ready? Can the mind ever know….
The meaning within a dewdrop, tender and slow
Dipping the petal in the forest’s surreal pull…
Will God ever release my heart from the concrete
Pavement B L A C K and defeating my hope…
While my invisible tears blend with the sigh of sprays
Dampening the woody memories, the prayers
Who honor nature’s trembling rays as they pour across
Spirits, believing the wild… the creatures, the character…
Growing old in the reflections, the presence
Softly stirring the muse to life
Nature’s persona writes the twinkle in my eyes
When I smile… she lifts an approving brow…
The wispy wish of a passion for His gifts
The Creator’s art is in this – nature’s bliss
