Forest Walk
August 4, 2013
I can't explain, but
Something about those fluttering leaves
So shiny- they wink at me from the trees
so tall
they swallow the sky
Except where it peeps through the chinks in the armor, like a naughty child
Something I can't explain, but it lifts deep in me and
bursts
to swirl out and join the rest in harmony
And the whole world gleaming like a perfect emerald
Dotted with turquoise
And wreathed with birdsong-
Something I don't understand
and I can't come back
But I wouldn't trade this ever
Not for all the gems in Africa
