In The Woods
The under-brush was strong
with briar biting at my ankles.
Beech saplings, silent
reached through thorns
and wept for space in God's canopy.
Sunlight, miserly though it was,
spattered the small clearing ahead
in a ray of moted-haze.
Wildflowers waltzed with abandon
swirling in the coattails of the tall grass.
Legs no longer bound, take me to a granite chair,
I sat and rested while my breath caught me up.
Butterfly's quizzed my brow then abandoned me
flitting through the overhangs of elm.
This was the prefect place to sleep.
