Forest Song
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.
