A birthday poem

I wrote this for my co-worker and friend, Carolyn, who enjoys her walks...as do I...

The trails stumble through leaf lit drives
Cement walkways leafly woven
Spongy underbelly after rain
Cushioning my feet while wary of falling
Looking upwards trees waving leaves
Like leafy wind chimes
The darting bird I know but do not recognize
I look at the time to capture the moment
But it's the beauty of nature
Refreshing my soul
The moment captured, pictured
I want to revisit
Again and again
That restores my soul.
