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.
