Walk In Woods

Walk in woods enriching and serene
Draws gratitude quieting garrulous mind

Tranquil forests of breathtaking peaks
Whisper softly building profound links

Soaring trees of Oaks, Conifers and Ponderosa Pines
Form deep rooted networks in robust mountain brims

Sweet bonding and affection of charming mallard pair
Teaches true admiration and persistent care

Meandering streams of small dazzling cascades
Hum cheery tunes flowing through rocky beds

Fallen scattered countless pine needles
Form soft, cushioned carpet for elated ramblers

Cool breezes of fresh whistling wind
Blow newness carrying soothing feeling

Tumbled trees and twigs of many kinds
Show synchronous blending of death and life

Piles of shrunken crinkly dropped leaves
Feed trees and shrubs nourishing meals

Tapping of Acorn woodpecker on oak tree
Breaks silence showing power of tenacity

Dancing butterflies in wild flower fields
Propagate growth of new survives

Playful dog’s innocent, bouncy frisks
Bring harmony to body, soul and mind

In mysteries of mountains, woods, and water
Mind gets lost and soul is awaken

Enchanting landscape of loving Mother Earth
Breeds profound grace showing interdependent world…

Beautiful poem of nature. Reminds me of Joyce Kilmer poem about the beauty of a tree. If you read this poem in front of a congregation it will be magical to have Philip Glass; Morning Passages playing in the background.

"Mind gets lost and soul gets wakened" which is why I live full-time in the woods when I am not at work. Lovely!

Thank you Caren! Mother Nature just helps me be in the moment and observe the surroundings.
