This is a Repost, but it is my favourite poem of all time, that I have written. I love to think of the forest, and the beautiful green. So here it is again:
Forest, you enfold me
Under your canopy of purest green
Setting my senses free
I feel you though I cannot see
Hear the Living Waters teem
Forest you enfold me
Remembering how I used to be
In sacred space I sit and dream
Setting my senses free
My heart, my mind, my will agree
Working together as a team
Forest you enfold me
Your spirit lets me know that we
Do not need “sight” on which to lean
Forest you enfold me
Setting my senses free
And what a glorious poem it is too 🖤🖤
