I need
slow,
long,
forever
woodland
and grassland
paths
that meander
with a soft perhaps-voice
so as not
to frighten
my brother and sister
creatures of the wild.

Dear Diana, there is such delicacy in this little poetic gem and such deep consciousness of the oneness of all beings. You have filled my heart with tender wisdom.

Love,
Margherita

Thank you, Bruce.  Though a new one, it is a particular favourite of mine too.  I suppose it has always been there within me, just hasn't seen the light of day in the form of a poem until recently.  I am delighted you like it so much.  Smiles.
