Summer Walk in the Woods

I see the moving trees, coming alive

The flowing stream glistening in the sunlight

Hearing the birds singing splendid, sappy songs

With the raging waterfall in the background

The trees are tall and strong with pine needles

The air is a cold, crispy, cool, cuddling around me

The sun is shining through the trees

 

When I reach the waterfall, I'm happy

Kids playing in the water, the dogs jumping joyousally 'round

Not big nor small,but the perfect size pond

 

But Beware,

For the water is not safe to drink

A beautiful sight but dont feel like being sick

Happy yet thirsty as I search for my water bottle

Starting back I walk through the water

Its a cool, refreshing, reverberant, feeling

Sad I'm leaving, longing to stay but happy for I made it

 

On the way back, the forest has wilder look 

Muddy, moist, mushy, moving ground

Rocks rolling, rumbling, 'round,

Fallen, flaky, branches

 

Disappointed and curious,

A huge barbed wire fence blocks my way

Trapping me with its thowing thorns, trees, and thistles, along the path

 

I call for help and wait until someone helps me

Relieved, renewed, restored again, I am on my way

 

On the other side, a beautiful sunset with the sky ablue is showing

Looking at the light, fluffy, fun, fetching clouds

I get in my car and head to Denny's for ice cream
