these woods have stood majestic for
more years than i will ever know and
saplings grown from scattered seed
are keen to stretch their necks to grow
taller taller to the height
where they can touch the stars at night
see copper-coloured leaves float down
another layer move on by
then soon a clearing starved of trees
where i can view a cloudless sky
higher higher on the wing
the Red Kites soar what joy they bring
i can but hope this place remains
for generations yet to come
for here is where my senses feel
acute in truth my song is sung
louder louder hear it clear
with each and every passing year

Thank you so much Teddy. I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend. Pleased that you enjoyed my woodland walk. 🌹
The benign quality of English woodlands is something I miss - even if in actuality I came to experience them infrequently. I'm going to score your poetry as a visit. Thanks Cassie.
What a lovely thing to say Dave. You are right about English woodland. There is peace and tranquility there and a feeling it has been there forever. I hope it stays that way. All the best.
I am sure that place will stay in your life and in your heart Cassie.
Andy

Thanks for a lovely review Tom. Much appreciated. All the best
Stunning images of nature's beauty and the bonds we feel to it. This becomes particularly so of certain places some of which are close to the heart even if we have never been there before.
