A walk

Sunlight sparkles colours off the dew drops 
The air is fresh and clean
Leaves are green and vibrant
There's not a soul to be seen
Each step i take is springy
Each turn a new surprise
How I often wonder
How people miss this with their eyes
Time escapes this place 
A piece of heaven just for me
I can roam theses woods for hours
Only here am I truly  free

You've captured a time when you were appreciative of nature and all its details. There is a spiritual side to it and you caught it through the use of words that brought the feeling for us all to share, if only for a short time. Wonderful poetry Michelle.

[Edward Beaman]

Nature is so full of wonderful gifts. This is a lovely poem with such a positive gait to it.

Thanks for stopping by :) I love nature, you can probably tell!

You make your walk very real with your words, I can almost see you kicking those leaves around and brushing passed the branches. I find walking frees my mind and sometimes brings on writing

[MichelleClay]

I totally agree :) I wrote a book because of the magic of those woods :) thanks for the review

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, the times we are alone with nature...it is a time to appreciate the beauty, it is also the time for introspection without distraction.

"
people miss a lot with their eyes, they miss a lot more with their hearts...

did you mean "roam these woods"?

nice writing, you write with intense feeling and honesty.

[MichelleClay]

Lovely Michelle. Poets not only have different hearts but different senses all the way around. We see the world through different eyes. You articulate that well here. Nice.
