Traveling From Richmond Back to Farmville
As I was driving down the highway beside the woods,
The solid exterior of the teeming trees presented the forest's face.
But behind a person's face the light of consciousness dwells.
Likewise, as I look into the depths of the forest, i find sunlight illuminating the spaces between the trees.
The inner radiance becomes like an indwelling Soul, an arboreal Being.
It's as if I discover in the glowing greenery of the forest floor,
Nature's very own Mind.
Oh what a great storehouse of secrets to pursue,
Cosmic truth hidden in the form of timeless trees.
The solid exterior of the teeming trees presented the forest's face.
But behind a person's face the light of consciousness dwells.

It's as if I discover in the glowing greenery of the forest floor,
Nature's very own Mind.
Oh what a great storehouse of secrets to pursue,
Cosmic truth hidden in the form of timeless trees.

I like this beautiful analogy of a forest of trees to humanity and how the greenery is like ' Natures very own mind ' ....

Thanx for coming thru for me. I mean i need to get comments or i feel betrayed or ignored. Anyway i cant do with the poem what i would like. But it is an honest effort. But im thinking of changing the title. To something like "Catching a Glimpse of the Spirit Inhabiting Nature". What do you think??
