Moonlit walk

A poem I wrote after a 

meditation in the new forest in the 1990’s.

Moonlit Walk

Forest sounds unmask in moonlit calm

Of ancient times that sing their song

Their voices carried by each breeze

Unmask the nature of the trees

Whisper sweetly, whisper now

Lest we forget our earthly vow

Treading carefully, treading soft

We walk the paths that mans forgot

Until the voices hushed in awe

Unclose the meaning to us all

Divine in spirit, divine in place

Empowering each sacredness

Encircled by the forest deep

Our souls begin to dance and leap

And when the song begins to end

A silent song begins again

In harmonies that rise and fall

Each breath of life within us.
