PATHS  THROUGH  THE  WOODS

 

As you pass through the woods,
as you path your way through life,
may every twist and turn splash
buckets and buckets and buckets
of green beauty all over you –
with gray blue mist above you –
surrounded by a symphony orchestra 

of birds and gulping and gasping water –
flowing and falling its way through
rocks – crevices – openings. Be 

careful of broken branches. Don't

slide or trip on dark wet earth – 

as you make your way through 

the woods – either on your way 

home or you’re heading down 

to the waters to the sea to see.
