I found myself walking along a path through a wood in springtime.  After a cold harsh winter, new life begins to appears, colours erupt from once dormant ground, all around it life yet it  was so peaceful.  I love springtime and found that I wanted to remember the experience, so I wrote this.

dappled sunshine feels warm upon my skin

as I walk gently through this lush green place

to see new life return after the dormant times

smell the aroma of nature and love this space

I'm in my happy zone, it's so peaceful here

calm, soothing, tranquillity is felt  all around

secret paths, a shady seat, laughter in the air

nature in her beauty, scent, sight and sound
