Wildwood – Poem By Ali Grimshaw

~ Ali Grimshaw 
oh goddesses of green
grand guardians 
I pine for you still

your assembly of sacred shade
moss-softness
watercolored pools

diving deeply
your wild emerald waters 
left me yearning

for freedom like a river

rush of riverstones 
cool slide of ease 

no thoughts for tomorrow

  7. That’s a wonderful poem, Ali 🙂 We all can benefit from being nurtured by nature – rather than ruminating or worrying about the future, connecting with nature allows people to be in the present moment.
