A Blessing for the Woods.

by Michael S. Glaser

 

Before I leave, almost without noticing,

before I cross the road and head toward

what I have intentionally postponed—

 

Let me stop to say a blessing for these woods:

for crows barking and squirrels scampering,

for trees and fungus and multi-colored leaves,

 

for the way sunlight laces with shadows

through each branch and leaf of tree,

for these paths that take me in,

for these paths that lead me out.

 

This poem appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, May 19, 1999 and is also included in the CD, Tree Magic: Nature's Antennas, ed. Jackie Hofer
