The path taken less often than I should,
This tranquil place through a nearby wood.
A spot with trees for walls
Where sunlight through the branches falls.
An oasis from the urban din
I find a quiet place within.
An inner space where the heart can be still,
A peaceful spot on this wooded hill.
—
The path to the road ascends.
A cloud of gloom on me descends.
I must return to this rented land
Where advertising hordings stand.
A world where empty vessels make most noise,
And people play with broken toys.
Wonderful Post
Thank you! Best wishes. Kevin
Great poetry. I’d so love to walk this path. 🙂
Thank you for the compliment. You can find out about the woods in which I walked by following this link, https://www.croydon.gov.uk/leisure/parksandopenspaces/parksatoz/lawns/lawns. Best wishes. Kevin

This poem first appeared here back in 2015. I frequently visit Spa Woods (the place referred to in the below poem), and always gain something slightly different from the experience.
