Woodland Walk

I walk alone in the woodlands

All year 

Birds sing there 

During the day

When you listen

The moment lasts

I choose three things 

To carry out of the woods

One for my hand, one for a wreath and one for my heart

A stone from the path

A cone from a fir

A feather left behind by a bird

I might choose other things 

Another day

Depending on what the path

Showed me

Walking in the woods 

Fills me with joy

It is the World to me 

Every day
