I’ve analyzed over and over,
but everything is a circle,
spinning round and round,
a kaleidoscope of confusion,
nothing makes sense.
Will it ever again?
Perhaps, it’s time for a stroll
into the forest,
time for allowing the breeze
to embrace me like the
caressing of a silk scarf,
for the fragrance of the woods
to fill me with reassurance.
I want to be touched by serenity,
to walk among nature’s offerings
and be immersed into the language
of the trees, for the standing giants
have a keen sense of awareness.
So I will consult them.
I will bring into the open my unease
because they will unselfishly impart
the depth of their logic.

In the stillness of nature we always find peace Lauren and the answers we seek
Love this poem 😘
I agree, Maggie, the best place to go for tranquility. Thank you for your kind words. ❤️
My pleasure Lauren 😘
Hugs xo
Hugs back, Maggie! 😎
Thank you Lauren 🥰
And the trees have seen a lot, so no wonder they can talk to us. Beautiful language in your poem, Lauren.
So true, Anneli. No wonder…
Thanks for your lovely comment. 🩷
Beautiful poem, Lauren. Trees give us so much. I hope you’re having a lovely weekend.
Thanks for your wonderful comment, Steve, and today’s been rainy but good. Hope you have sunshine. 🙂
We do, thank you! Much sunnier than the previous week. It was warmer at the start of the week which was great for dealing with a load of firewood to help keep us toasty over the winter. ☀️
That’s great, Steve! I know you like the sun. The rain has subsided here, but it’s cold and gray, so it’s going to be a ‘candle and wine’ evening. Cozy! Enjoy yours! 🥂🕯️
Candle and wine sounds lovely! Enjoy. We’re just about to sit down to ‘pizza and movie’ night over here after a “fun” day of amateur plumbing. 😅
Ahh, plumbing, so much fun! 🙃 But a pizza and movie sounds just as good! 🍕😀
Nothing clears the head for decision making like a walk in the freshness of a forest. The redwoods are spectacular and I hope are valued for preservation.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts that I agree with, Ian. Have a good weekend.
Such wisdom of the trees spoken so well and delivered in your beautiful poetry Lauren💕
Aww, thanks, Cindy, for your lovely words. I hope you’re enjoying your family time. Our son is home from his 7-month drive/work/adventure from east coast to west coast that began in Maine. So we are grateful that he stayed safe the whole time and we’re thrilled to have him home for a few months during the holidays. 🩷
I know whereof you speak. Thank you for reminding me of the healing wisdom of the forest.
I’m glad you enjoyed this poem and reminder, Liz. Thanks for stopping by. 🌲❤️
You’re welcome, Lauren. 🙂
In nature we can find both peace and wisdom
Which is why it’s good to spend time outdoors. 😀
Exactly
Nature brings new depths and understanding. Embrace it all 💐💖🙏

Too few speak that language these days.
That’s true, Binky. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
My dear Lauren
Yes indeed the wisdom of nature can help us to come to terms with our worries. Trees have that kind of power to take away thoughts, giving us the space to breath.
Very nice
Have a lovely week 🧡
Those trees are lovely and nature is always so wise 🌳
Thanks, Pooja, and I agree. 🙂

Thanks, Kris, and nature is the best! 💞
I’m now more inspired to visit some national parks. ♡
He had an amazing trip and his photos are stunning. A book about this adventure may come in the future as he journaled along the way. I hope to see it in print. Thanks, Kris. I hope you get the chance. 🙂
Awww, that’s great! What an A-game, that is. Thanks for sharing. Sure, a book release is exciting!
Let’s hope it happens. 🙂 Thanks for your visits and I’ll visit you soon too!

Nice!
Thank you!
Nature is so healing… “I want to be touched by serenity,
to walk among nature’s offerings…” and those trees look like a jaw dropping sight!
Thank you for your lovely comment. 🧡
The language of trees is universal and one that speaks of love and tranquility. Your poem and insight is lovely, Lauren. ❤
Beautifully said, Carol, and I appreciate your lovely words about my poem. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. ❤️
There is nothing like a walk in the woods to soothe the soul. I often try to imagine what my country must have been like before they cut down most of these giants. Beautiful poetry, Lauren.
Thanks for your beautiful words, Mark. I’m glad you can relate to the benefits of a walk in the woods. ❤️
