Forest Walk

She enters the forest weak and weary

and is welcomed to a canopy of trees

The forest was quietly eerie

as she lifts her eyes to see

 

She sees with saddened eyes the trees

their laden arms were stretch-out

Offering fruits as many as she pleased

as she quietly walks about

 

Blue birds chirping in the deep-dark forest

As streaks of the evening sun-rays beamed  

Tannin-brown leaves flecked the forest floor

around the radiant shady glades

 

The peace engulfing the forest

was a welcome therapy to her

wondering and fearing the future,

she surrenders her life to Him

 

As she takes a deep, deep breath

the smell was fresh and organic

She meditates as she walks quietly,

her melancholy fading away.
