Feeling the trail’s draw
we step deeper into solitude
embraced by the strength
of the bays
Only the occasional
crackle of brush
breaks the silence

Such moments of serenity are rare in the cement jungle technopolis in which most of us live.
I agree, which is why a good hike or walk is refreshing and invigorating! Thanks, Carl!

I was drawn right into the forest with this one, Lauren. The snap of twig seemed loud. Hugs xx

Beautiful poem with a beautiful picture Lauren! I can feel myself in the forest and on the trail, what a wonderful and peaceful place to be! 🙂
Awww…thanks, Gabby, for such a lovely comment! This place is only five minutes away and one of our favorites, so it’s nice to have nearby. 🙂

I could “hear” the silence and peace, Lauren. And I love “the occasional crackle of brush”… a quiet moment between the lines here. Beautiful photo also!
Thanks, Betty, your comment is lovely in itself and I appreciate it! I took the photo and I’m glad it turned out!
I am feeling you on this poem, and loved the image!
