The Short Walk

Bare trees

in Perivale Woods.

Still cozy.

Are the answers here?

Tangled in the roots,

Stretching to the skies.

Searching.

Freedom smells like this

Damp cold leaves being warmed by the silent, omnispective  sun

Hello Sun

Did you enjoy being worshiped by our ancestors?

Witness to the start

Nourishing us

Encouraging us

Kissing us

Reminding us of our fragility

These woods

This community of  ancient Oaks

Harboring colonies and ancient civilizations.

Small wonders, perfect, total and complete

Sometimes not looking for answers

Is the answer.

Clichés dance on top of jumbled thoughts.

Breathe.

Deeply.

I feed my heart the fragrant soup of small wonders.
