Three Ravens

Three ravens partook of my woodsy trek Through African Violets and Dandelion flowers Purples and yellows and freedom abound Freshness of air cavorting for hours The Oaks and the Pines foreshadowed my jaunt The sun peaking through cascading prisms of light Three ravens above escorted my journey Billowing black feathers so quick to take flight And I in my mind a sweet woodsy nymph Barefoot and blessed in the forest of brown Soul filled retreat far away from it all Three ravens departed before the sunset down

I can feel the scene. Thank you for sharing. As of tomorrow, we in Spain will be allowed nature walks. My knee is sore already, but the hiking boots are polished. Kind wishes, Kai
