Forest
Forest
dark and silent
walk quietly
do not disturb
my reverie.
My mind wanders
as I walk
the path which
leads between
trees that bend
into me
hold me tight
in strong arms
My life is
wooded green
mellow
shielded by bark
with deep roots.

I love thisp oem, especially your closing stanza. So beautiful. "My life is wooded green...."
ReplyDeleteI felt a deep, pervasive silence in the poem. Your words walked me through the greenery, Mary.

I relate to this so much! Beautiful imagery for the feeling of being part of the forest. Powerful writing!
Your poem is a beautiful meditative walk where one becomes part of the forest. Lovely poetry for today.
