Now you have me thinking of times I spent in the woods as a kid. The effect of the canopy on the light filtering through makes a lot of impressions on the ground and on the way we perceive things.

I love the imagery of "the arms of the forest", Kim...and the rest ain't bad, either.

Terrific personification in your first line to draw the reader in. Grand image of a shifting sun, shadows and a child's imagination. Excellent poem. Be well. Brian

a delightful Kimo, Kim. Growing up, we played 'chased the shadow'--we'd chase one another's shadows instead of the person themselves. Weird kids we were, I think :-)
