Love Poem: Beneath the Canopy

Beneath the Canopy

" The forests are my bones "


I find the beauty of shadows and shades
beneath the canopy painted in dappled light
from the glorious glowing spokes
  of a celestial sphere
that creates an elegant twilight realm

where my spirit is held captive
by the warm arms of changing hues
that comforts me in a quiet solitude  
  of reverence
as I walk the untrodden path

where limbs float on the wind
allowing sunlight to wash across the forest floor
like a glittering fragmented tide
to warm wild berries and ferns
that peacefully lay between the thickets
that stretch through the emerald forest
  of standing trees
that my heart and soul...call home
