Their shadows dance from winds that blow.
Take a walk inside a park or
Jaunt a forgotten trail.
Close your eyes and listen.
Take a deep breath and exhale.
This is a wonderful poem. I had to read the other ones you've written, Ms. Sylvia, and they are all beautiful. I, too, enjoy walking in the woods and also really share your concern about the...
Earth is a beautiful place,
a place we live every day.
We should have the grace
to make sure it doesn't go away.
