Silence of the Forest

Boulevard of trees hold natures secrets
surround me with an ethereal silence
I have found nowhere else.

A hush grasps my heart
assuring me God 's wisdom is imminent
soundless bare movement of leaves inspire me

This mystical forest is a listening place
I feel humbled, overwhelmed
spiritually loved and embraced

I slow my steps to match the slowness of my heart
as I breathe in the beauty of a forest
that replenishes me every single time I visit.

An inspiring place makes for an inspiring poem. I liked the stanzas in three lines with no rhyme. Very nice.
