Deep in the Forest
When the twig Breaks,
Grissil is there;
When the Leaves give a rustle,
a good ear can always hear;
this side that side waiting on the wind,
another step another little twig,
deep in the forest with a flippant little jig:
A dance to trees,
a leap to the streams,
another hole up in the belt
& Grissil keeps Lean;
singing a song & the birds sing along
as the summer rays reach
  the wings & the arm
The narrowest path ,
spread open with staff;
back into day
where Grissil likes to play,
not to much sunlight
to burn & scar the face,
so the dance enters cover without overdue haste.
Threw the thick humid air,
massaging every toe
Grissil ponders tackling
all of life's past woes

Quite a task Grissil has.  Enjoyable read.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth
