I shall be telling this with a sigh, somewhere ages and ages hence, two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference


Once when weary,
I stood and heard
the woods around me
grew unhurt.

And the moonlight
that shone through cracks
in the leaves
showed me vines and their weaves

and there I heard it
the song of the woods
ever so silent
like no other could

I found what I heard,
in that clearing where I stood
was the beating heart
of living wood.

I've often sought refuge in the woods that grow around my house, one day I just stood to listen the sounds of the woods
