It is time to return to the woods
by Roslyn Weaver
“It is time to return …” read by Roslyn Weaver.
It is time to return to the woods,
to ascend the high places, and listen …
To quiet a heart, draw in air,
still a mind, and listen …
Voice of wind
caressing the trees, a whisper of leaves
Laughter of fire
cackling and crackling, a hiss and a wheeze
Song of lake
lapping the shore, a longing call
Melody of earth
secreting its creatures, a rustle and roar
Can you stop?
Can you still?
Can you hear?
It is time to return to the woods and listen …
