The Forested Path
transport me to my enchanted days
i'm feeling afraid
when I wandered among the redwoods
gathered pine cones
dressed them with moss and daisies
my secrets not held by a diary
instead I whispered them to these mighty denizens
they stood stoic and strong
never telling a soul
bore the weight of my pain and delight
as my spirit soar
on the backs of rays
of sunshine
when anything was possible
when I climbed rocks
felt connected to the Earth
her mountains the breasts
that produces water
from which we sup
her oceans a sacred place
the tides rumble a story all their own
when I felt my most desolate
you gifted me tiny shells
as I walked her shores
I've drifted so far into the shadow lands
lost my way from the forested paths
that fed my soul
forgot for awhile the majesty
the greatness of nature it'self
days of madness
when you comforted me
rained almond blossoms
upon my head as a blessing
the days I could hear the trees talk
with the rustling of their leaves
as I run tree to tree
show me the way home
on this day
to the shade
to the path my feet once knew

Quite an enchanting picture you have painted here. Leaves me longing to return to the mountains, but sadly, the weather isn't really allowing for it. *sigh*
Anyways, thoroughly enjoyed

we sometimes become oblivious to the fact that we indeed do not need any fantastical wonderland for we actually live in one. Brenda I thank You for pointing this easily overlooked fact. The read is a healing balm for the soul. Good on you my friend and a massive Thank You!!
