A Quiet Cool

Towering timbers
staggeringly windswept
over weltered grounds
neatly kept

Shadowed sculptures
naturally in season
without rhyme
without reason

Wandering woodbine
searching the sky
purple/white blossoms
where the Whisteria lie

The earths solitude
seen in a hue
by the sun and the woodlands
a quiet cool

*sigh* Soothing, that is the word that describes how this poem makes me feel. I love the whole vision and feel of it, Craig. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

So peaceful. I sure would like to take a walk in the wild with you and your words.  They are just so softly contemplative and relaxing.

Wish I had written that, it is pure nature poetry. And the coolness of the mood is underscored by the soft hues and scent of wysteria. Very nice, Craig.

I am pleased I could "soothe" your day *s

KD
Have you ever seen how some trees are cut and shaped by the wind?
To see a patch of these ... stumps, broken limbs ..., a true curiosity indeed.

Cerenity
Hello C!! Thank you, I hope to share more with you.

Nancy
Glad to see you are feeling better. TY *s

Acat
I will see what I can do about that stroll ... by the moonlight perhaps?
Thanks for the comments. *s

Noah
It does have a little "spring" to it doesn't it ... thank you my friend.

Tara
Perhaps the same words but always a pleasure to hear. TY *s

Kacy
This was written sometime ago but I was compelled to post it after reading your "Traveling Heart" ... it was music to my ears.  TY *s
