WOODLAND MAGICAL<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

On this morning as the sun<\/em>
\nbegins to rise up over<\/em>
\nand beyond the ridge,<\/em>
\nI come to this place<\/em>
\nwhere silence speaks<\/em>
\nas I hear it through the wind.<\/em>
\nI hear it within<\/em>
\nthe mountain expanses<\/em>
\nas possibilities abound,<\/em>
\neloquent as I listen<\/em>
\nin the quiet of this place<\/em>
\nand the rustling of the leaves<\/em>
\nthrough the muted glow of dawn.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And in this place the sun streams<\/em>
\nthrough Mother Nature’s canopy<\/em>
\nas she nurtures her children,<\/em>
\nawakened by her gentle song,<\/em>
\nthe early birds whose grace notes<\/em>
\nbring a smile to my face and my heart;<\/em>
\nthe leaves that dance<\/em>
\nto my imagination’s delight,<\/em>
\nthe harmonies that together<\/em>
\nwelcome me to this day and the dawn.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

The woods I find here,<\/em>
\nonce more transformed<\/em>
\nfrom gold and crimson of the Fall,<\/em>
\nthrough winter’s chill<\/em>
\nand falling leaves<\/em>
\nand spring’s new dress,<\/em>
\nso lush and green,<\/em>
\nas new life returns<\/em>
\nto this forest I love.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

And on the verge of summer,<\/em>
\nthe sun finds where I am<\/em>
\nin the center of this place,<\/em>
\nexactly where I stand<\/em>
\nas I inhale the magic of the woods<\/em>
\nin this place that I have found,<\/em>
\nmy heart so freely dancing<\/em>
\nto the cadence of the wind;<\/em>
\nto the rhythm of the branches<\/em>
\nwhose leaves embrace my soul<\/em>
\nas alone with my thoughts<\/em>
\nI consider the the day ahead<\/em>
\nwithin the stillness of this place<\/em>
\nand woodland magical.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
