Poetry: Walking in the woods

by Carol Noble

Created on: April 25, 2007   Last Updated: May 14, 2007

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.
