Poetry: Walking in the woods

As I put my foot one in front of the other
I look at the ground all muddy and grey
The leaves of the bluebells trodden and duller
The blue petals drooping as if they pray.

The trees shiver in the wind,
Raindrops form a spray
As the leaves open widely
To catch the sun's rays.

I lift up my eyes
I see glistening light
The shade lets the flies
Circle endlessly in my sight.

A walk in the woods
Makes my muscles relax
Until my legs stumble
As I trip over tracks.

My balance restored
My hope regained.
My journey reformed
My happiness remains.

    This is the Wiccans' wood:
    Beneath the Witch Hazel's throes
    The baubled Bluebell grows;
    Adorned with Spiders' gossamer nets
    That

    It was early evening
    on the autumn day that
    while out walking my dog
    I met the Ghost of Monchat

    The sun had just lowered

    Walking in the woods,
    A step beyond,
    That tantalizing threshold,
    That guards our minds from the unseen.

    Walking in the woods,
    No
