Original DDE™ surrealistic art: “Walk With Me” by: rob kistner © 11/8/23
Very deep
in this primeval wood
secreted among the old-growth
nestles a serene forest clearing
soft filtered sunlight
falls in rays
so gently
through the green canopy
enwraps golden
this hallowed place
let us go
walk with me my love
‘round the lake
but let us be quiet
let us listen
to the voices of nature
to our footfalls
as they drum the root chambers
each step cushioned gently
by centuries of needle-drop
in this wilderness forest
we will enjoy the rise and fall
twist and turn of the trail
serenaded by the spring breeze
high in the treetop canopy
the steady rhythm of our footsteps
will sooth our weary hearts
we’ll trek deep into the forest
to a crest of a knoll
overlooking a downed redwood log
a very special log
at quiet repose
in this magical place
we will be sanctified
by nature’s grace
in this sacred space

here we will rest peacefully
in this towering
ancient woodland cathedral
we’ll bask in the filtered sunlight
that drifts down dreamlike
golden
into this enchanted clearing
we will give thanks
as we breath deeply
the intoxicating natural bouquet
of this timeless forest
a rich heady blend
conifers
ferns
mosses
musks
and sweet ionized mountain air
so come love
and bring no book
for this day
we will embrace calm
gratitude
and nature’s splendor
