on a winter walk in the woods
came upon a labyrinth made of pine
fall to winter vegetables as offerings at its center
beautiful yule celebration on display
left for all to enjoy.

You always find the coolest stuff. This looks like the leftovers from a pagan solstice ritual.

I know the forest looks cold, but the trees do need a hug….
Tree
“I stand in your shade
Your limbs shed leaves over me
I’m warm in your arms”
Trees, We Apologise To Thee
“Ancient trees of life
Anoint colour to the sky
Cast shadows aground
I, hugging a tree
I, apologise to thee
I, seek mindful peace”
