The peace is surreal
in the woods at the park
it’s beauty is special
I speak from the heart

I grew up here
when I was a child
this place could always
make me smile

as I pass the trees
look up to see
a baby raccoon
looking down at me

There’s a deer on the right
munching on a shrub
and the birds they are singing
while fluttering above

While walking the boardwalk
with my camera in my hand
I capture the beauty
and that is really grand…
