Peaceful, green

Shady and serene –

Woods in summer

are a refuge.

Voices of trees beckon

with soft rustlings and deep shade.

Come into my loving embrace

for comfort and cool.

Accept the wisdom of the ages

Wander unencumbered thru

majesty and calm as you

reconnect with Mother Earth.

Words are everywhere-

They help us survive

Words are magical

You’d think they’re alive!

Some are short, some are long

Some are weak-  some are strong.

They can make you happy or break your heart.

They can build you up or tear you apart.

Choose them with care whenever you speak

So you do no harm and cause no grief.
