Where Spirits Walk This forest is alive, to me, Growing up above the sea. Spirits walk here, I do too, Stopping now and then to view Lichen growing on the bark Of some ancient tree and mark How pale fungus spreads like plates And down below,a ground squirrel waits Until I move away to eat The mushrooms, springing at his feet! The breeze that's wandering with me, Smells of earth and history. It wasn't all that long ago, No humans came here and I know That wild eyes watch me, though unseen. Dark, huddled shapes against the green, Are ravens with their beady eyes, Perched in tall trees that densely rise To trap the fierce sea winds outside And mute the turning of each tide! To come here is to feel the past. I hold the memories close and fast, Of mossy floor and shadowed way. Of giant ferns and birds that play Among the trees and add their song To that of nature, all day long! Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Joyce: Thanks. I don't live here, but I have visted this forest in Oregon a number of times, when staying at the coast. It left a lasting memory. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

The breeze that's wandering with me, Smells of earth and history. It wasn't all that long ago, No humans came here and I know That wild eyes watch me, though unseen. Dark, huddled shapes against the green, This is an enchanting poem. Much enjoyed. hugs, Chris ~The soul that can speak through the eyes can also kiss with a gaze~ |
