Walk with me through ancient trees, where few men ever tread.
An eerie silence stills the leaves
and whispering overhead.
They're watching us, wary distrust,
from rumors on the wind.
From chatter of the birds and squirrels they cannot trust in men.
Out of the corner of my eye
A furtive shadow slides
A crow calls out somewhere on high
A chipmunk runs and hides
'We mean no harm' I softly say
while scanning forest floor
'We'll not disturb your peace today
With you we're not at war'
But words mean nothing to the wood
Sensing the soul's intent it could
Determine if you're friend or foe
If heaven sent or from below
So vibrate love and shine out light
In woods across the nation
And if we're lucky we just might..
Forge bonds with all creation.
The poem in it's entirety:-)
