ENLIGHTENMENT
In dreams of green and blinding white
he saw the everlasting light.
Shining down to light the night
and reassure all could be right.
Emerging from the dankish green
of brooding forest’s musty scene,
the wandering soul was showered clean
to learn what life can really mean,
Then from confusion’s sinking tide
he saw the path for the right ride,
by shedding foolish human pride
towards real achievement’s guiding stride.

THE LIGHT AND THE TREES
*
In the mist of the woods
There was a bright light shinning though
Though darken could so still see
Wonderin about
Not afraid at all yet
Curious at all the beautiful did see
The greenest grass and the smell so fresh
Long trails of darkness
Then the light
Brooding forest gloom
Shadowy yet silence be so quite
And at ease
Step after step I step on the moss underneath
Thick branches of green stream seem to come up from the grounds
Softly slowly without a sound
Up ward the enchanted grounds
Whispers through the wood deep could hear
Not frightin just clam
I stand there as if a trance
Oh the beauty
I did see
Forward
Onward tramp
Just to see all it gorgeous sites
Stupendous was the light yet darkness did fill
Journey deep within
But the travel I did sees
The light and the darkness amount the trees

I’m afraid my “muse” is still running rather late. But I finally finished this . . . . It’s such a gorgeous photo for inspiration.
EARLY MORNING TRANSCENDENT
Shafts of early morning light
stream through the trees
to light my way,
transforming the forest I love
into a magically wondrous scene,
rejuvenating and redirecting
my steps that have often strayed
away from the path in front of me
as I step into this brand new day.
And as the mist begins to rise
from the floor beneath my feet,
the way, once hidden from my sight,
becomes ever clearer once again;
for as Dawn meets Day
within the lighted path,
my spirit is renewed
in a transcendent way
through the magic
of the forest right here
and its intoxicating fragrances
so peaceful and serene,
my restless heart and soul
stirred and awakened to the day
as the branches rustle softly
in the early morning breeze.
