The woodland is one of my favourite place to go. especially when it has been a very stressful week. The air, the noises, the wildlife. Everything about it refreshes my soul. This is why I like to create artworks based on the woodland.
One day in 2020 during lockdown I decided to write a poem based on trees and the woodland to try to convey in words what it means to me.
Breathe In
A poem to focus on the joy of nature at this
difficult time. How it can bring a sense of peace,
joy and improve our wellbeing during lockdown.
Walking through the forest,
Breathe in,
the air is fresh,
The birdsong warbles,
From trees above,
Singing blithely a contented song.
The path meanders,
Its journey of discovery,
Branches reaching,
Grasping the forest floor,
Snowdrops dancing,
Gently in the wind,
Listening to leaves rustle and bustle.
Shifting light,
Every step newly discovered,
Sky beyond,
Clear blue hue,
Trees colossal reaching the sky,
The main stem standing robustly proud.
Green,
Herbaceous vegetation,
Providing breath of air,
Oxygen needed,
Breath deep the air is clear
The soul finds rest and peace here.
