Our Beautiful Woodlands

Early in the summer we took a walk in the woodland near our home and it was so inspirational.

Today we took a woodland walk

As wind blew gently through the trees,

And bluebells formed a carpet blue

Which stretched as far as eyes could see.

Shadows playing in summer sun

Cast ghostly forms in undergrowth,

And sudden rustling attracted eyes

To rabbits darting to and fro.

Along the winding pathways dark

Nature’s cries filled morning air,

And in the branches o’er our heads

Squirrels leapt past unaware.

Deep we strolled into the depths.

A mystical journey through years past,

Enjoying a tranquil moment in time

In a life which is flying by so fast.

The magical quality of the scene around

With inspiration filled my head,

Creating for me the words I needed

Which so far had remained unsaid.

And so we left this magical place

With its myriad of hues a sight so rare.

Both knowing that without our trees

The world would seem so barren and bare.

Woods speak in woodland

When walk together forever friends

Silence to silence understands

And stay in eyes nice moments

Lovely poem, Christine

If you need too clear your head and just relax, a long walk
in the woods is the best therapy.
An excellent poem Christine.

That was so lovely. I use to have a view of woods behind my house but now they are cutting down my wonderful trees to built more houses. It makes me sad.

Your poem was really good. I love to take walks in the park especially during the Fall season. I love when the weather is cool enough to walk without getting too hot or too cold.
