A Walk In The Woods

A Walk in the Woods

One cloudy day in March, I went for a long walk in the woods. My feet trudged down a long trail that wove its way among the trees. The cold wind pierced my back and sent shivers down my spine. I felt a great weight pressed on my shoulders, and I sat down on a rock to rest myself. As I sat there, I listened to the wind blowing through the woods. With a sigh, I closed my eyes and buried my face in my hands. Then the sun came out behind the clouds.

sunlight

scatters the clouds

a sweet smile

to brighten long years

alone in the woods
