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:
What a beautiful post and place to walk.

This reminds me of the trails I used to run in, back in St Charles IL. Those trails did wonders for my mental health.

I agree Kate. It is a blessing to have this park nearby, and another isn’t far away either . . . Walnut Woods. I hope to shoot some awesome autumn foliage pics in a couple of weeks.
