Woodland Stories

How joyous is a woodland walk; Filtered sunlight peppers down. Silent leaves begin to talk; They’ve such a lovely sound. Breezy fingers rippling through, The hair upon my head; Their own stories, they tell too; If there down, you bed. Every living being, therein; Tells stories of their own. Listen carefully my friend; Their magic you’ll soon know. They’re not to be repeated; secrets of the woods. Repetition is not needed; just savor them for good.

There's nothing like it. Only I usually walk it looking upwards; especially if I disturb an owl; I had a very pleasant conversation with one once. Though I didn't know a word he said and he didn't know any of mine; it was still a nice chat. Thanks Mike.

The stories and secrets of the woods cannot be repeated; there is no way due to the reverence of the woods. You have said this exactly right. There is nothing as wonderful as falling asleep in the forest.

Walk in the woodlands feels joyous indeed in your words, M.L.K. You revealed the secrets of the woods.
