Nature is our subject today as we explore from the perspective of something in nature giving giving it a voice.
Walking in the woods,
I came upon a scene, laid
bare for only me
to see, platinum moon beams
cast into forest's deep sleep,
a spotlight spilling
into mysteries
unexplored
Disturbing ancient charred tree
trunks, fallen trees, imposing
on the privacy
of a rare mushroom fungus,
heretofore unseen
Secrets kept among
old lichen and moss;
muskrats, owls and deer
camouflaged in shades of green

Secrets kept among
old lichen and moss;
muskrats, owls and deer
camouflaged in shades of green
and grey, newly awakened,
naked and still
naked and still
Aware of specters
in the glowing grotto clearing,
I might never be the same,
where likely no human stood
before, a unicorn's resting place

I love a moonlight sonata,
moonshining on my face

The forest can get very dark at night. Caves are darker, of course, but the fainter moonlight through a forest could make one think of unicorns.
ReplyDeleteso magical and fulfilling...Nature is That...most beautifully captivated....
ReplyDeleteSpooky for sure, with just the right elements of fantasy & macabre moonlight. As a kid, I would prowl the forest unafraid. Mow there's danger in my backyard. I, too, would love to find /a unicorn's resting place."
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical place you painted here. :-)

deep in the woods, in the heart of nature.
ReplyDeleteI felt like I was in the forest as you have painted it so well with life, light and earthy tones.
ReplyDeleteA deep mystical walk into the woods ~ I like the moonlight sonata, moonshining on my face~
ReplyDeleteOh! a resting place for unicorns. And yet the forest is a mixture of beauty and creepy at time. I liked this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mystical place, a dream maybe, where deep within there are unicorns.

All the wonders of colors beneath the forest floors for one to discover!
