Through woodland in silence

we ambled, nature's interlacing

branches converging; traces of

enchantment dressed to impress,

 

drawn softly into shadows that

afternoon; letting imagination

drift resembling flowing stream:

stimulating my musings,

 

lingering neath shade of leaves;

where saplings through half light

rise, so diverse yet not quite

developed...resembling clinging

innocence.

 

This moment revealed; in

transient stillness, breathing

spirit of earthy loam, a woody

glade nourishing secrets that

only the inhabitants of wildlife

know.

 

Photo is my own.

Good evening Di,

It was a lovely afternoon with fine sunshine and a breeze, but not hot. It was so wonderful because it did feel magical, I'm sure you've had that feeling yourself when in the woods too.

I'm always grateful for your feedback, and glad you enjoyed the poem and those lines. Thank you so much for letting me know.

Ah! smiley That's very kind of you to say Jack. I know where my heart lies, especially having had the woods on my doorstep as a child. Nowadays I make the most of walks when the weather permits, but I'm so glad of my garden to escape into.

It's always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for reading and your thoughtful comment.
