In the deep woods near,
The trees are poets;
They write their rustling
Lines against a paper sky --
Invited to their mystic house
I am brought to life,
Embraced and entwined
Like a prodigal child
Forgiven everything --
The forest floor is cool and still
Yet below, the earth is humming
Sweet-scented and loamy
Pulling at some memory that
Beats ancient in me --
Such tempo'd spells sing
Among the ferns here:
Beckoning
