The Forest Trail (poem)

We each set out together

Choosing a different path through the trees.

At points our paths converged briefly

Then peeled away

Taking each of us a different route through the trees

Sunlight warmed us

The leaves provided shade

The trees themselves gave us warmth and wisdom

We each navigated our way through the forest

Hearing our own messages as we travelled

Before each arriving at the end of the trail

In our own time.

Mirroring a journey through grief and healing.
