The Woods Above the World

The Woods Above the World. I really wish I had written that line. When I heard it, I knew I wanted to read it. It being an ebook. I am about halfway through and am loving it! It revolves around an imaginative wooded world that touches on Keats and Shakespeare and which has all kinds of unique storylines and characters. You can get on on Kindle or Amazon Kindle in seconds. Why wouldn't you read it?

Joy

I will never tire of the wind,
be it a cold winter blast
that takes me off guard
with it's bitterness,
or an exhilarating spring or
fall tempest that sweeps me away.
I get caught up in it every time,
...it's as if the wind is calling
my name to come out and play.
The trees become my cohorts,
...those gentle giants that sway
back and forth with delight,
as they gracefully bend to and
fro - they get caught up every time,
too, and are surely clapping their
hands in mirth.
In these moments, I am a
beautiful bird who was made for nothing more than ascending
to the heights where the currents await me. Joy.

For the beauty of the earth
