BC Trees
Here
a metamorphosis
I am transformed
This forest
becomes
my refuge
These trees
my shelter
This water
my transport
I live within
the silence
I know the language
I hear the voices
All life living here
knows me
Alone, I am never
alone,
All here
sanction me,
allow me space
On calm days
the water rocks
my kayak,
awakens my muse
During storms
I hibernate
The bush
shelters me
my fire
warms me
I find peace
This forest
my sanctuary
This water
my custodian

Beautiful, beautiful work done, Linda! I resonate with; "I live within the silence/I know the language/I hear the voices/
ReplyDeleteAll life living here knows me/Alone, I am never alone,/
All here sanction me, allow me space On calm days." Thank you so much for writing to the challenge!! ❤️❤️
