My claws are mute,

my voice without melody.

Exactly how I feel compared to the enormity and majesty of the forest.

This is just gorgeous, Sam!

Beautiful, Beautiful! You take me home with these poems of our natural world, Sam! If I could survive in the woods as 'home', OH, I would! Glad that your poems bring that 'living there' to me.

"In the distance, a brook’s rush

threads through roots and worn stone,

its babble a steady hand

guiding me toward open waters,

where the silt of the world drifts on."

Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,

~Wendy💜
