The Path

The Path

A dome of green canopies the forest-

emerald green,

a splendid scene.

The path beneath my feet

leads me into a place of shrouded peace,

devoid of the cacophony of everyday life.

To come here is a choice,

and I am handsomely rewarded

by a smattering of delicate birds

dipping down to partake of tiny morsels,

their constant food source.

I have no words

to describe the flash of yellow,

that spot of color

which feeds my soul-

for I am a nature lover.
