trillium woods


entering the trillium woods
i can't help feeling the calm
of the trees


while all around me
i can hear the thrilled whisperings
of the little-mouthed flowers

    I can't help thinking of the ents. :-)

    Beautiful, Steven.

    The word verification is 'shnowsr' and I see 'snow shower' which is sort of what your trillium are like.

    Oh my, that sure IS a trillium woods! I have them here, but not in such profusion - little bunches tucked next to hemlocks here and there. Nothing quite like yours!!

    reya- their little mouths moved ever so slightly as i walked through and they were telling each other stories about something i couldn't understand at all but it was a story only as long as their short-lived flowering. steven

    tess - really those woods are so quiet and then also so filled with stories. it's your choice what you notice and so you can adjust the volume if you like. steven
