Central Ohio’s Walnut Woods Metro Park is located a short drive from my home.  I frequently walk the park, and a recent one inspires this poem.  Enjoy these photos taken back in April, 2019.

Alarm clock spurring

Nature park invites

Sweet song birds stirring

This morning’s delight

Sunrise opens sky

Clouds sliding away

Welcomes this Buckeye

Creation’s ballet

Quiet moments smile

Spirit walks each trail

Partner with each mile

Fresh air to inhale

Life’s cherished highlights

Blessed start to day

Nature’s revered sights

Moments filled with play

Joyful heart, rejoice

Walk comes to its end

Creation’s brisk voice

Morning’s steady friend
