Green colors play with each other in the dim light under the canopy
Trees sing above, the tall sentinels taming the wind with their dance
Mosses display their varied textures
and the forest floor is pillow soft and quiet under our feet
Mushrooms reach their tiny heights to drop their spores
in the small breeze that manages to make its way through the tall trees
Fallen leaves and some mushrooms pretend to be each other
Different mushrooms shine out with color or glistening
shouting "look at me, I'm beautiful!"
My companion and I take turns showing each other special gems
Smiles of wonder and amazement gently massage our faces
Movement over fallen logs and through brush
keeps us warm in the pervasive cool and wet
Gnarled tree shapes show the influence of powerful events in the past
and the creative architecture of the fairies
A spiritual uplift overshadows the human nonsense we left at the car
Peace from Peace Lane,
Chuck
Hope, love and peace will bring prosperity.
