Shrouded Path

Along this misty secluded path
meandering through the leaf strewed wood
as tree come in to view
looming out of this blue grey light
tall trunks guarding the land
over all who pass on by

each tree, gnawled through time
with branches spread out wide
heavy with their burden
green mantle of luscious leaves
to shelter all from the elements
that the weather may unleash!

from this peaceful spot
as a breeze begins to blow
an occasional bough hangs low
it's branches like fingers
clawing at invisible foes
glimpst through these errie mists

as this breeze continues
rustling up swirls of dead leaves
creating unique patterns
under this thick canopy
above this wooden path
before settling down once more
