UNKNOWN FOREST

UNKNOWN FOREST

A Poem by Marie
"

Tree ghosts...?

"

The exquisite violet blossoms of the blue jacaranda smother its branches and make an eye-catching spectacle just before the leaves unfold. 

Trees cast ghostly shadows

On the silver grass

Spreading lacy fingers

To touch me as I pass

 

Kind souls keeping watch

Haunt this forest dell

Lift their spirit branches

Saying “All is well!”

This is really nice. A feeling of protection from the trees.

This is a very nice poem, I enjoyed it. For me, it sums up the reassurance that I feel whilst on a hike in a forest, which is a fond memory.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I`ve always considered trees to be Nature`s protectors....their canopy is a sanctuary for all creatures. I think you`ve captured their benevolence well, Marie. P.

Thanks; I hoped I could do that.
I like the idea of "Silver grass", it somehow adds magic to something as insignificant as grass...also "spirit branches"- trees have always overwhelmed me whenever I sit alone outside, at night. I get this feeling that they are watching me and have watched many more before me and have stored inside them millions of untold stories......

I'm sure they do...
A very elegant piece of write. Reading your poem gave me a impression that I am myself walking in the forest.

Apart from the poem, image was also very appealing.

Thanks for sharing this.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
How I love my trees, xylem Xanadu sails on the heights. They reach for the skies like the ancient martial arts masters hoping to placate and emplore the airs submission.

That' a lovely way to put it.
Quite lovely, Marie. I'd like to walk among them right now.

So would I.
What a beautifully haunting poem... this vision of branches reaching down... of a forest alive in the sweet darkness.. sighing in the wonder of spring's soul...

Thanks Woody. I find pictures on the Internet, and thought this one looked "ghostly".
