Wild Woodland

I leave you as I found you

Bent and bowed

Covered in golden light

Luminous, gliding flights of birds soaring through your branches

Hillsides careening down around your roots

Flushed of first spring light

Beautiful sight

The ocean roars and rumble

Over earth and sky, I stumble

Winter never comes here. Only beauty runs here.

Burning into my brain, this is something I can't contain

Wild woodland winding around the edges of the cliff

down the hillside to the mouth of the river

flowing into the ocean of forever

A new place to remember

something to forget
