Wood Song
In the laughing woods,
Where oaks speak their peace
And wildflowers smile with ease,
Where moss carpeted stones seem to breath
And pine scented nights sometimes grieve,
Where the forest walls are deep
And the moon so often preaches
Where melancholy cannot compete
With the shadows and the streams –
Where I long to be, when the night seeps in
Offering its gentle relief,
Sending my

Beyond the Still Woods
At the edge of a still wood,
Glistening with dew,
Soundless sighs from the autumn,
Oaks, dark and defiant,
Strong as the night,
Who breathes starry musings
Over the gentlest whisper of wonder…
Reflections of grace, softly smiling
On the intimate pages
Of a forest, amazed by the twilight
Who captures the feathery
Dreams, trembling trees,
Imagined and written into poetry
Blessed by the heart’s promises,
Healing,

Nigh the Forest
Nigh the forest I go,
Where dreams sigh in silence
Rustling beneath the stars
In praise, gentle laughter
Played by timeworn guitars.
Nigh the forest I go,
Where breathless pines delight,
Aroused by dancing leaves,
Beyond sparkling creeks, songs
Peace flowing as she grieves.
Nigh the forest I go,
Where music moves my soul,
Meeting my heart’s prayers
Blessings I don’t expect,
Unspoiled wood still declares.
Nigh the forest I

Bandits From the Woods Nursery Rhyme
Always together, they played
Never alone, lost or afraid,
They trudged through the woods
And all the surrounding neighborhoods,
Piercing the darkness with shiny flames,
Their eyes never revealing their names.
Always together, they delighted
In the games – wonderfully excited,
They plodded on through the night
Beneath stars and moon so bright
Carefully seeking the best garbage cans,
With paws that were suitable for hands
Always

For Sake of Man
CONSTANZA POETRY
FOR SAKE OF MAN
When I see the birds large and small
Hear their melodies fill the earth
I know their songs are of great worth
````````````````````````````
Or view a splashing waterfall
This reminds me every day
That God can take our thirst away
`````````````````````````````
Or hear a woodsy echo call
Each animal has purpose too
In Heaven we will know 'tis

Woodsy Palindrome Paradise
There was not a "peep" among the trees in this autumn woodsy paradise.
The leaves were much "redder" than remembered in days long past.
An unfamiliar "pop" sound led my eyes downward, where I saw gray squirrel,
With his little brown "eye" focused on a walnut that had rolled from her tree.
A "hadedah" flew past, a rare

Biko the Woodsy Owl
Biko came down from heaven
brought a message from Jesus to impart
the sun comes up every morning in full view of the day
one must be humble enough to bow the knee to pray
I'm a messenger from the most high God
as a beacon of like to a hurting world in need of
