| Nathan Dumalo Photography www.nathandumlaophotos.com was kind enough to allow me to use this beautiful image which inspired a small poem; something I haven't tackled in years. Thank you Nate, your work is beautiful. |
I dream of green, wooded places
Full of ferns and mud
Shrouded in mist and bog
Where silence and song happen all at once with
The whisper of pine needles,
The scuttle of bugs,
The rustle of paws on peat.
Full of light, and shadow, and life
From roots to tree tops
With the passage between these worlds
On padded foot moving soft and slow through trees thick with moss seeking
The rattle of woodpecker,
The grace of deer,
The stealth of fox.
The fullness and emptiness that live here in perfect harmony.
