Notes About The Poem

Whispers of a Summer Trail

We hike the trails where emerald silence grows, 
The forest hums beneath the morning light, 
The mountain breathes in rhythms nature knows. 

The beach wind plays with gulls in seaward flight, 
We splash through waves, our footprints wash away, 
The forest hums beneath the morning light. 

By lakes so still they mirror skies all day, 
Canoes drift slow like dreams in midday sun, 
We splash through waves, our footprints wash away. 

Through wooded paths, the deer and foxes run, 
We pitch our tent where starlight softly lands, 
Canoes drift slow like dreams in midday sun. 

A fire is born from our own weathered hands, 
We share our tales until the embers die, 
We pitch our tent where starlight softly lands. 

We hike the trails where emerald silence grows, 
The mountain breathes in rhythms nature knows, 
The beach wind plays with gulls in seaward flight, 
We share our tales until the embers die.

I get all the blessings of the lovely sights and scenes, nature benevolently shares. Pitching a tent in the evening and warming in the embers of the campfire while trekking, is an enchanting experience. Beautiful terzanelle, dear Jay ji

I can hear the gulls, breathe the mountain air and smell all the odors that the woods have to offer, and all by reading this splendid poem Jay. It's wonderful.
