Poem Artwork
-->Been Spending Some Much Needed Time Out In The Woods;
No Cell Phone or Computer, Just Mother Nature’s Natural Good

Music: Awakening


I now seem to crave far more breaks
From my computer and from my cell phone
Now, I yearn for far more walks in the woods
And on these nature treks, I am never alone

I often leave my home extremely early
I love saying Good Morning to the sun
And what marvelous neighbors I now meet
Before my early morning walks are done

I always greet the red breasted robin
Who always so joyously sings for me
We both stand in awe, at the meadow
Its wildflowers fill both of us with glee

Then I saunter down to an old pond
Where several ducks are swimming by
I begin tossing them some pumpkin seeds
When something skyward catches my eye

There, circling above the wondrous trees
Is my very old friend, the one-legged crow
I toss several peanuts way up into the wind
How he manages to catch them, I don’t know

Then, as I saunter down a very familiar forested path
A white-tailed deer and her two fawns, curiously peek
The fragrant smell of pine and sweet birdsong greet me
And eventually, I head off to a serene little babbling creek

Here, I always find my chirping friends, the chipmunks
Who always rejoice in the sight of a glorious dawn too
I toss them some peanuts from my trusty old knapsack
Then I head off again, greeting a sky, now heavenly blue


I now seem to crave far more breaks
From my computer and from my cell phone
Now, I yearn for far more walks in the woods
And on these nature treks, I am never alone

Wonderful contemplation of the richer rewards all around us that in this hectic technological world, little time is left to find such free joy and potential cures for what ails us. Enjoyed your imaging and relaxed way to remind us. Thank you.

...the sauntering theme of your poem, Mr. Ed...sets a pattern of your walk...promotes conversation that's well grounded in your perpetual quest for soul to thrive...looking outside yourself...in one with Mother Nature...blessed by the God of Walkers...
Thanks your sharing your thoughts.

Our friends in nature have one thing up on us: they are not encumbered by all this technology taking so much time and doing so little.

If more people walked your walk there would be much less talk and the world would be a far better place.

Beautifully written. There's nothing more relaxing than a walk in the woods, and being one with nature.

Nature takes us to another realm and adds
a calming to our weary soul...giving
our spirit a positive uplifting.

Always,

Deborah

Well said. Not enough gets recorded about the health and spiritual benefits of our remaining places of quiet and being.

I love nature, too. I was just saying that I have that urge to spend a month in a cabin in the mountains right now, to get away from it all, get back in touch with nature and write. Thanks for the images!
