“THROUGH A SLEEPY FOREST”’ by Bill Charles ~~~~ I walked softly through a sleepy forest in the early morning as the moons light embraced the trees, and a soft breeze flowed through the shadows and touched upon my being in the silence… I heard your whispers as they danced tenderly into my ears embracing me with them, and they sang with the gentleness of heartfelt lullabies from one to the other, their innocence being of a heart as gentle as a child’s sleeping breath… Shadows danced lazily with moonbeams in the dim of the light, and the trees sighed in their silence, for their thoughts became of yours as your breath entered into them and into this essence, this I remember, as I walked softly in the early morning through a sleepy forest… ~~~~ |

Shadows danced lazily with moonbeams in the dim of the light, and the trees sighed in their silence, for their thoughts became of yours as your breath entered into them and into this essence, this I remember, as I walked softly in the early morning through a sleepy forest… Oh, what a dreamy walk this sounds ike. Beautiful, bill. Hugs Ethel |

Hi BC ... stunning write and the imagery is so reminiscent of my stroll at Walden Pond last week. Perhaps we were together in spirit brought there by Henry David Thoreau! Huggles, Marti |

Bill...I don't believe I've ever read a poem of yours so dream-like and wistful. There was the essence of longing hidden in your words. ***Ivy Rose |
