~Untouched~

Rays of light reach across the heavens, brightening the landscape
Birds rise up in feathery flight of wings

Tall whispering pines sway in the breeze
Bubbling mountain brooks carry icy cold water down to the valley floor

The graceful doe walks slowly to the vast green meadows
Little spotted fawns trail quietly behind, big ears alerted to every sound.

A distant howl of a lonely wolf ..

Beautiful verse my kind of walking felt I was thereteddybear

This is simply beautiful. With your permission I would like to offer my interpretation of it:
"Rays of light reach across the heavens," An awakening of the conscious
"brightening the landscape" the landscape was always there but your view of it has changed
"Birds rise up in feather flight of wings" new hope and purpose "rise up" in you
"Tall whispering pines sway in the breeze" even wisdom bows to nature, the tall pines symbolic of conventional wisdom (pine trees are rigid) and their swaying indicates a subservience to the wind (a force of nature).
"Bubbling mountain brooks carry icy cold water down to the valley floor" Your new insight brings refreshing inspiration to those not placed as highly in awareness as you.
"The graceful doe walks slowly to the vast green meadows" You are the doe - beautiful and non threatening. The "green meadows" is the abundance that you observe that nature / life has to offer.
"Little spotted fawns trail quietly behind, big ears alerted to every sound." Others follow your trail, offering no contribution except their presence. They are fixated on potential danger.
"A distant howl of a lonely wolf .." Though distant the potential threat is always there.

Or this could just be a simple observation of a beautiful happening. Either way I enjoyed it tremendously. applause
