White Wood's VoiceA Poem by JessiThere is something beautiful about the wisdom of nature
Breathe is sometimes all I can do,
So I go for a walk in the woods to renew. A secret fortress where I can be, Where blinded by snow I can see. A weak branch cracks and falls from the weight, Tangled vines and twines make a frozen gate. An ancient tree lay sleeping on her side, I sit on her great knee so I can cry. Icy embers from earth's winter blaze, Have a way of lulling me into a haze. It's okay to feel all I do, She offers a kind grace so very few do. Sometimes I kneel by the alter Made of tired wood and brush that has faltered. The wood cries for me as her icy glaze drips, The sound matches my tears with each drip-drip. No words come out and instead I listen To the wisdom this ancient place has given. These white woods have seen many seasons, To come and go without hearing her voice would be committing treason © 2015 JessiReviews
