Beneath Unsuspecting Feet

Shadows thrive beneath

unsuspecting feet

Vines trap and feed

Forest arteries

Image description – the photo is of a hiking trail at Robius Landing Park in Virginia. Along the trail is a tree with long vines that wind into an intricate knotted pattern. There are shadows on the dirt trail. The bushes and trees lining the pathway are a healthy shade of green.

For this short poem, I made the forest the hunter, taking what it needs from all who enter. The beautiful parks and hiking trails of Virginia continue to inspire both my fiction and my poetry.

What the Trees Hide

Peace grows beneath the trees

that gave their leaves and limbs

to hide the seeds

of hope

from the searchlight moon
