In my Wood

Dust motes dance in sunbeams' rays

Far-off hills in blue-black haze

Trees a-sway in soft spring breeze

Birds chant and flit among the leaves.

 

Time lies suspended, evermore

as I rest on mossy floor

I close my eyes and catch my breath

let slip the bonds of life and death

 

Yet soon the sun sinks to the wood

In tapestry of sunset gold

as Time once more asserts its hold

upon my world ... as it should.
