Discovering these woods

Longing for morning walk

Sharing nature’s promise

Enchanted forest talks

 

Breathing nature’s freshness

Winding through woodland’s peace

Fascinating venture

Enchanted, sweet showpiece

 

Scaling every hill

Navigating each trail

Finding nature’s secrets

Enchanted story’s tale

 

Standing still, time shall wait

Looking around each bend

Treasuring nature’s prize

Enchanted spirit’s friend

 

Dreaming of tomorrow

Hiking this ridge again

Searching for nature’s gifts

Enchanted walk, Amen!

 

I frequently walk Chestnut Ridge Metro Park, which is located about ten minutes from my home.  I have used this setting for other poems, and here is a sample:

• Hilltop Hiker
• Ridgetop Treasure
