The sea is vast
The beaches open, inviting
But the woods,
Oh the woods!
There is something else about them
Wonder, beauty, mystery
Much mystery
Closed, secretive
You never know
What be behind the next tree
What lurks under the bushes
Or the grass under your feet
Mystifying in the daylight
Terrifying in the moonlight
This is a picture from my Karnataka trip earlier this January. It was a memorable walk, my friends are not in sight, but they are not very far behind. Anything that reminds you of the woods has to bring back the memory of Robert Frost and his immortal poem and these hauntingly sweet words:
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep”
Lovely shot ! Frost again….love his work ! Oh the woods…..seductive ! Your poem makes me want to run back into the thicket ….hate the city here !
Hey thank you so much! Glad you dropped by 🙂 I see old pictures and always feel like packing off too!
