Untamed Enchantment
Earthy
Grounded
A little wild
Untamed
Natural
I am beguiled
The magic is strong here
The forest nymphs are near
Glimpses of fairies
The soft wind carries
Woody
Growing
So very alive
Somehow
Here
Magic can survive
Darkness and light
Mingle together
Black and white
And both on a feather
It flutters down
Into my hand
I catch sight
Of silver sand
And sapphire waves
Encrusted with gold
This magic is too
Priceless to be sold
Tiny Wilderness
Surrounded by cement
And roaring cars
The air is filled with
Shouts from tiny people-wars
But it fades as I sit
And bask in the quiet
The trees around
Shielding me from it
I sit awhile,
And quietly read
And the birds come out
To peck at the seed
They’ve forgotten I’m here
Or so it seems
Unless they’ve decided
We’re on the same teams
They peck at pinecones
Looking for food
They’re always in
A flighty mood
They call to each other
From the trees
And the waving branches
Seem to tease
This oasis is a tiny wild
In this world of conformity
I never know what I’ll find next
And it never ceases to amaze me
The grass, the trees
The birds and sun
They’ll all remain
When the day is done
The cars will be gone
But the wild will stay
I’m glad there’s a little wild Left today
