Natural Thought
My thoughts were as clear as the moonlight
Which shone from the full autumn moon.
The forest floor was soft, springy with a carpet of leaves,
Blown from the trees by the winds of the day.
But now it was still, pure, the air chilled and fresh,
Clouds of breath swirling in front of me with each exhalation.
There is nothing as beautiful as a full reddish moon,
Its light causing a glow, beams of light broken up by branches.
The forest floor looked almost like a theatre stage
Numerous spotlights dancing across it.
As I strolled through the trees the leaves that had fallen
Covered my shoes and made a scrunching sound as I moved along.
The only sound came from the creatures of the night,
Solitary nocturnal inhabitants rustling through the undergrowth.
No painter could put this tableau onto canvas,
No camera could recreate this perfect vision of nature,
The subtle shades and hues of colour only the human eye could perceive.
The light gave the trees depth, life, and that sound,
The percussive rattling of branch upon branch
Accompanied by the whistle of a gathering breeze.
This is the time for thought when I feel at peace
And nature casts a blanket of protection around me.

Al, the opening to this is just so delicately beautiful and the breath of air that follows is so serene. A quiet, gentle sanctuary that you've described with severe poetic aplomb. I would love to jump inside the lines and rustle a few leaves of my own. Simply stunning, my friend.
Seléne ~
