Walk With Me

Walk with me
   along the pale  green shadows that fall
   on the thin and winding pathways of the wood
   where all is quiet and full of growth
   wet with the drops of midnight rain.
Breathe in softly,
    the heavy laden air
    thick and burdened by the drops.
Keep watch at every step
    as large and small puddles form 
    that lay stationary for a moment
    then flow downhill to the ponds
    where the river runs cascading on the stoners.
Stop a moment
    hold your place
    take in the view.
Listen to the sounds
    birdsong as it fades in and out the trees
    wind rustling  branch and leaves
    where deer step and pause at their surroundings
    and squirrel and chipmunk chatter in chase.
Catch the sun
    slipping thru the canopy
    with light rays resting in the shade.
Smell the scent wafting in the wood
    where pine and honeysuckle burst on the air
    and every rain drop blushes in innocent clarity
    wafting across the damp wet fallen leaves
    left from autumn's winter.
Walk with me
    escape the hurried pace of the outer world
    and submit to the marvels of nature's blessings.
