Night In The Woods

.
.
There is much
I cannot see
Awake night
Trees watching
Dreaming
Stars mists
Images free
Beyond human senses
Movement presence
Felt as soft flutters
Wings in the air
The touch of Angels
The kisses of fairies
All seems still
And silent
Shielding
Perceptions
Filter Night
Only shadows
Whispers
Tiny songs
Insinuate more

Autumn Trees Await Cold Behind The Clouds

The last of the warmth trapping cloud cover blows out to sea.

Yesterday’s cloud cover is almost gone. The temperature will drop quickly tonight. Hard Freeze. ⓒBearspawprint2014

Old Woman Old Woman

Old Woman Old Woman
Why do you wander alone in the forest?
.
Dear Child Dear Child
I am not all alone in these woods.
The forests are filled with dreams and memories
That I have cast away and tried too hard to forget.
.
Old Woman Old Woman
Why do you wander alone in the forest?
.
Dear Child Dear Child
I am gathering back into my heart the
Flowing beauty songs of dead lovers and the
Blooming new growth of cast away dreams and pain.
.
Old Woman Old Woman
Why do you wander alone in the forest?
.
Dear Child Dear Child
My wandering is my dance, my own memory dance,
Through forests of trouble and learning and work.
I am dancing through the veiled mists of time.
.
Old Woman Old Woman
Why do you wander alone in the forest?
.
Dear Child Dear Child
I am gathering together the music of
Thrown away dreams and lost love songs,
I am dancing in the joy of remembrance and loss.
.
Old Woman Old Woman
Why do you wander alone in the forest?
.
Dear Child Dear Child
Leave me now, please go. You cannot wander
Here, where my remembered life is too thorny.
I must gather my own lost song back together, dancing alone.
.
Old Woman Old Woman
Why do you wander alone in the forest?
.
Dear Child Dear Child
Go, sing of your new life and struggles. Sing
With hope in your heart and litter the woods not with dreams.
Leave me. I must dance, weeping alone in the forest.

Old Woman Old Woman
Why do you wander alone in the forest?

Walk In The Woods With Bear

 

 

Driveway to the house. With plenty of rain this summer the vegetation is thick. July 2013 Bear

Footing can be treacherous and walks in the woods are difficult. The best way to avoid snakes is to let them know you are coming. Make noise. Tell the , out loud, that you are just passing through. You’ll see less wildlife, but that is the point. Most animals prefer to avoid people. Of course alligators have different habits than snakes. And I am fairly ignorant about the behavior of invasive pythons. July 2013 Bear
