CHRISTMAS IN THE WOODS

by David Knape

The wild wind blows and
leaves fall
looking like flocks of flying birds

moisture on the dewy grass
sparkles like the stars

on these cold days
the woods are decorated
in fall colors and
all the trees and bushes
herald the beauty of
the season

the woods surround me
with beauty
a special happiness
permeates the senses
the scent of joy
pervades

when I am In these woods
everyday is Christmas

every day
a gift.
