A Poem - Is there Magic in the Woods?
Not really written much in poetry format. But have been inspired by some I have seen, so thought I'd give it a go.
What is this Magic in the Woods?
There is magic in the woods if we open our eyes and look,
It is everywhere, but very carefully hidden, in plain view and out of sight,
First, we have to be prepared to believe that this may be true,
We need to step out of the dark and into the light.
I will take you on our journey into the woods, to open your eyes and make you look,
To find the magic that is both lost and found, that is old as the hills and as new as you and me,
First leave your ideas behind, in the car, on the bus, as you tie your shoes, leave your views,
Open your eyes and switch off your brain, stop looking and you will start to see.
As we tread upon the path you will start to feel the changes, nature does her thing,
The chemicals in the air will fill your lungs, will permeate your very being,
Your heart will slow, and breath will drop, hormones wonder what is going on,
Let these feelings come, this is nature at her best, at first you will be blind, not seeing.
Look for the little things as we go, you will need to go slow,
There is no need for haste, for the little things will stay hidden if we trot along too fast,
You will be watched as you pass by, to see your reciprocity,
If you are open and accept, believe, these gifts you will be given, they are made to last.
At first your eyes will start to notice that there are new things to see,
Your ears will start to notice that there are new things to hear,
Your senses will start to notice that there are new things to sense,
Then your body will start to notice that there are new things to feel.
The more you see the more you will believe, that maybe there is magic in the woods,
Do you see more or is more revealed to you? This is the question we have to ask,
Your body will tingle, new sensations will flow through you,
The magic will fill you, how your respond is up to you. Are you up to this task?
