Whispers From the Trees

Dusk casts a sepia glow upon sentinel specters of the wood; another summer has passed and the autumn shedding lay all about me as I sit swinging and remember, how the wildflowers filled this glen a few weeks ago. In the ephemeral light, whispers are heard. I wait as she wanders between the gnarled branches; I catch the impressions from my muse, while she strolls beneath these storytellers.

I like it that your muse is strolling. Trixie never strolls; much too frantic and Type A for strolling.

It's some of her most creative moments and then suddenly she comes dashing into my head screaming, pen, pen, pen, now!

Wonderful use of words for nature. I listen to the whispers of nature and I taught my children. To listen to. Thank you for the amazing poetry.
