Through the woods I walk
The cool green mistress
of the land.

The soaring trees
that grace the land
and bring the soul to peace.

My footsteps fall
without a sound.
Their echoes muffled
by the forest ground
and the deep green moss.

The shifting trees
move on the wind.
Singing melodies
as old aa the Earth.

My heart stops;
skips a beat.
The beauty and serenity
of the woodlands
penetrates my heart.

My heart,
once restless,
once aching,
once broken.
My heart has found
peace.

Well you certainly live in the right place, to experience these feelings.  I love Oregon, and see what you see and feel every day up here in B.C.  Lovely!

Nature has this power of bringing peace and you say it beautifully.
