A Moment To Reflect

This is about walking through the woods and taking in just one second the surroundings.

Stillness fills my ears, I stood alone,
The glint of sunlight off the trees.
Fall time color swirling about me,
In the dance of falling leaves.

The smell, fading due before noon,
Reflections upon the ground.
Chickadees awaken, melodies in nature,
Pleasant song the only sound.

I beheld in a glance the magnitude,
This rugged valley forged by time.
Cranberries high and low I smell,
A fragrance as pleasant as wine.
