Nature's Own

She walks barefoot in total harmony...
on her mossy forest path.
The tall trees bow their limbs before her.
Her eye's twinkle a hello to each while passing by.
Her long, dark hair braided with ivy...
drapes down over her shoulders,
as the full moon gently caresses her bare skin...
causing a soft glow to form around her.
It is midnight, as she enters a meadow.
Joining her is her brother the wolf and her
sister the owl. Now with just a wave of her hand, the
wolf howls into the night...which
echos among the trees.
Sets of yellow eyes can now be seen all
along the edge of the meadow.
Without fear or doubt she calls to her
ancestors for enlightenment.
Their answers come in the whispering of the trees.
She gives thanks by placing sage and other
herbs into the earth.
She is one with the elements...a natural born witch.

Up until a few years back I hadn't written at all. Then due to an accident at work and my Parkinsons. I retired as a nurse of 20 years. It was a tough pill to swallow. You've heard of the saying that sometimes when you lose one ability, another takes it's place. That's what happened. I have 2 books published and are on Amazon but they aren't poetry books.

Dear Pam You asked if it comes naturally, the only way I can answer that is by saying I've been writing scense I was in the third grade, at first it was just a hobby but later it became more, now it's something I really love doing, and my greatest wish is to be someday published and earning a nice living at it, you know how they say only the fortunate few can have a job that they enjoy, while others take what they can get, well I want to be one of the fortunate few, lol cheri

PRD, Was it witch hazel to rub on nature's soft skin or hazel eyes trying to make up which color they are? Aren't there both good and bad witches? Jim Horn

Yes there are good and bad in everything, positive and negative. The universe is made up of both.
