Nature’s Whisper

I followed the beams beneath the cloud dotted expanse Dissolving into the earth like the glittering of morning sun Just beyond the weathered cedar planks, notes of crisp juniper invigorate my senses A winding path of moss-covered, rough-hewn stone The forest floor unfurls, a tapestry of hidden stories amidst the swaying willows Iridescent shards, luring me deeper into the heart of the forest Tossed on the breeze like a feather on a restless tide Into the solitude of a deserted glade, where shadows seep in like a slow-moving fog Twisted limbs stretch towards the sky, a rhythmic creaking that echoes Spinning beneath the indigo expanse Leaves rustle a soft susurrus, lingering like a gentle chant A chorus of red maple foliage and ancient whispers
