APRIL MORNING WALK
by contemplativeinquiry

on a cool april morning
approaching the woods –
the fresh vivid green of spring

a path provides entry
to this sylvan world
so fecund and aspiring

tracery patterns
on newly-leaved trees
enable soft light to shine

delicate petals emerge
quietly white and pink
from the branches behind

slow strong waters are rippling
beside these woods
displaying their quiet power
