The woods
are lovely
white
and wide...
Sunday's walk
to Alford Springs
brings us back to
the massive birch
grove that I love so much.
Standing there with
the glowing white
trees to each side,
and the azure blue
sky above, does
something. The
trees have an
energy that
sizzles between
them and through
me. I stand there
with my walking poles
in each hand
and I feel
the subtle birch buzz
touch my face
and pass through
my body. I smile
and close my eyes.
I inhale,
and hold my
breath.
I leave
finally
because
Rich calls to me.
We've got miles
to go before
we stop.
