An Afternoon Away |

An Afternoon Away I spent an afternoon away, Deep in the woods, behind our place. I lay on grass so soft and green, Watched nodding heads of Queen Anne's Lace Bow gently to a passing breeze And pressed sweet blossoms to my face. I watched the clouds pass overhead, Enjoying so, my fragrant bed. I listened to the songs of birds And followed them from tree to tree. I marveled at their feathered frames And music that enchanted me, Until I lost all track of time, Nor thought about where I should be And when the day grew dim and cool, Reluctantly, I turned to go. The shadowed pathway stretched ahead, Back to the home I love and know. Back to the camaraderie, The firelight and candle-glow.

How pleasant to spend an hour or two away all the time knowing home was waiting with its love and comfort. Lovely, Betty. Joyce |

Trillium... more people should take the time to take an afternoon away and enjoy the wonders of nature. Best [This message has been edited by bestgirl911 (09-29-2002 08:38 PM).] |

Joyce: Thanks for your nice comments. I don't know why I don't do this more often. The woods are right at hand and yet if I go out there just to relax and get away awhile, it's not more than a handful of times a year. Betty Lou Hebert |

very nice Betty. Playing hookey from the world can be such fun...  the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
