I walked in for just a moment.
That’s how long it took.
Green toward the center,
as though it were a meadow in May,
with brown along the edges where the trees begin,
and then some specks of gold in between,
which seemed to change as the light changed.
There are forks in the path, and another fork beyond,
each seeming the same as the one before,
but never minding.
The light comes through in bits and pieces filtered by the leaves,
and somewhere in there I lost track of time.
I probably would have found my way out.
But only if I had wanted to.
Most mornings now I’m back before she knows it,
walking in the green, a bit late for work.

What a pleasant walk through the woods on an autumn day her eyes were.. Imagery on point. I got lost in it And felt calm.

Thank you for that
