The Undisturbed.
Diamonds of clearest................. dew-misted pearls
hang in the dank air.
Thick soundless magic............. becalms and unfurls
peace to visitors there.
Woodland's balm bathes..............with quieting lush
those wishing to see.
Mysterious shadows ..................reveal secret hush
to poets like me.
A child perceives awe................ in the undisturbed
and so does the scribe
Whispers seep inward........from each tree and bird
to alter the psyche.
A spectre-dark haunt.......... transforms and refills
sadness with healing.
In such placid places.....................busyness stills
to access much peace.
It has been good...................for me to de-stress
in this ancient wood.

Fay, there's just something about you and nature.. You seem to go hand in hand! Hey! No, you couldn't be HER, could you? Mother Nature Herself?
Aha -- Mother Nature herself eh ? - - now that would be telling my friend !! - - So pleased you enjoyed the read Edward.
I always do Fay. Always do!
Such a beautiful write Fay. Wooded trails can be so inspiring of nature's vibrant silence. I love it. ; )
The vibrance in silence can really inspire as you say dear friend - thank you a load for your lovely comment
Yes Fay, there's a different sort of silence in the woods. But in that silence is magic.
I can feel the coolness of your woodland. You brought it to life in my mind. Lovely writing here.
So grateful for your visit and comment - pleased you felt the atmosphere of that magical old woodland.
I'm there where e filial saplings stretch and reach beneath the forest’s canopy - great picture painted Fay.
Thank you a load Michael. - Thought you would be there in that ancient forest with perhaps your brush and paints.
The ordered form this poem takes adds to the calm it exudes. A pleasant piece, indeed, Fay!
Ah - I am glad you thought the form was right for the subject dear Louis - - it needed to be read as slow as could be - hence the broken lines...............
With Nature is a great place to be to become calm in life. Good write Fay.
Thank you Goldie.
I like Edward's question. You do love nature and all of its glory. So well done.
Yes dear WBL - nature has so much to offer the writer - - - thank you loads for your visit and comment.
A fine write Fay.
Fay, this is just so good. Love the poem, the structure.
And it works! I was so de-stressed by the time I finished reading, I nearly fell asleep! 🙂
Whispers seep inward........from each tree and bird
to alter the psyche.
You spoke to me with these words. It is what I feel in relation to nature. It alters my psyche.
If I listen carefully, I can hear the trees whispering
Thnx for a lovely stroll
