In the Wood

entry picture

 

I will enter the quiet wood,

On the rustling leaves I will dance,

I will watch the Godhood,

I will prance to the autumn’s romance.

 

I will wear a colorful dress,

I will mix up myself with the leaves,

I will hear what wind says,

I will feel the tender breeze.

 

I will see a birch in gilding,

A maple in its nice crimson,

A spiders beautiful sewing

Created with Gods benison.

 

The Sun will play with the dewdrops,

The leaves will dance rock and roll.

Feeling desirable aromas of hops

The autumn will be a droll.

 

I will be fascinated by the autumn’s beauty

Where only peace and harmony are on duty.

Wow, Larisa.
There's not 5 people in a 100 in Britain who would know the word "benison".

The first two verses stand out for me in their wonderful simplicity. I love the idea of prancing to Autumn's romance.
