Painting Pictures

Dark then light walking down

A small trail through the woods
There is so much here to see Open your heart then you could

First the trees some old some new

Towering silently overhead
To the green moss covered ground As soft as any bed

Sun is filtering down through leaves

To greet the forest floor
Tiny tender foliage All beg for even more

A sprig of wildflower thrown about

To add a gift of pure delight
Just drink in all the beauty here As you walk through dark and light

Beneath a sun bright as memory

Then to the cool deep shadows
Walk along and smell the smells Of times decaying battle

Don't get lost in her great beauty

You'll want to stay forever
Instead paint pictures with your words To share forever and ever
