All Good in the Woods

Forest, please.

Woodland of trees,

Plot of leafy-branched tree-covered land.

Flat terrain, 

Coastal plain,

Atop foothills and mountains, they stand.

Spring and summer green,

Fall’s paint color scheme

Winter’s black and white photo so grand.

Dark and scary place,

Or safe peaceful space.

Oh, the perspectives we hold in our hand.

Fresh outdoor air

Makes us more aware

Of the larger picture where views expand.

Nature’s cure

For those things we endure.

Soul-lifting beauty unfiltered, not canned.

Paths, routes, and trails, 

Unexpected details.

Some things simply cannot be planned.

Beauty from afar,

Admired in a car,

But close up is a place we can understand.

See the forestry

As well as the tree.

Up close, goodness is known, is understood.

The path within

Is the biggest win,

All the little things, miracles, the hard, the good.

Getting lost for a bit 

Can bring great benefit.

Who knew such simple adventures could.

Steps on forest floor 

Bring more to explore. 

Journey through growth brings growth, as it should.

Listen and enjoy

As the trees sing for joy.

All the fields and rocks won’t be misunderstood. 

Walking in stride, 

And side by side.

Together, all is good in this land of wood.
