on a log i sit

in my happy place

 inhale the fragrance…

wood smoke and cedar.

.

attend the aria

of the nightingale —

her longing,

each twitter and trill,

writes on my heart.

.

a bird on a branch

me on a log

forever

    I know that place. I found it as a child and forgot it as a man. Now I am needed to become a child again. I am enjoying your work

    1. Thank you so much. We can relate directly with nature, without words, because we are nature.

      1. You’re most welcome. Writing about nature comes readily; I have identified with it since I was a child.

    1. Yes, I am at my most peaceful when I am in nature. Everything makes sense, everything goes on as if I weren’t there. I am just another of nature’s elements, a curiosity sometimes, but not overly interesting.
