HEART OF THE FOREST
Author: Unknown
December 1, 2012
I seek this day, the heart of the forest,
with my purpose to heal my own heart there.
The place I whisper my cherished secrets,
and find myself bowing in humble prayer.
The place where comfort is all shades of green.
Where branches low, are great welcoming arms.
Wisdom whispers back from the aged trees,
as I free myself from all thought that harms.
Here I am safe; the heart of the woodland,
where the midday sun shares its warmth with me.
How sweet the song of a tiny sparrow,
swaying on the limb of a young pine tree.
Every mushroom to dot the forest floor,
is as peaceful a sight as the butterfly.
Wildflowers, squirrels and trout in the lake,
add to the calm as they coax me to sigh.
The hours drift by in my favorite place.
So do the clouds with their shape-shifting play.
The urgent matters that first brought me here;
like clouds, those troubles have drifted away!

Lovely poetry CelticPoet
The peace & beauty of the forest brings
forth memories of yore!
You allowed me to roam within
the banks of my childhood memories
It's the one thing of life, due to my
aging body that I truely can say,I miss the most
Walking the beautiful and peaceful
trails of mother nature!
And now you have brought it back to life!
