Tootsie Roll Trail

by Jean Eis

The Tootsie Roll Trail

Winding, rocky, rooted path

Walk gently on you.

Sunshine rays flowing

through Aspen branches and leaves

Shimmering, warm light.

Heart-shaped Aspen leaves

dancing in the light, fresh breeze

Flittering green shades.

Gorgeous, tall Aspen

grove, feeling awe in your midst

Strong, green, vibrant life!

Hummingbird surprise

Eye to eye under hat brim

Visit from my mom?!

Your quick energy

startled me, excited me

Inspirational!

Loud whirring, buzzing

Felt the bird’s beating wings’ breath,

gentle puffs of air.

Darting front to back

All while under my hat brim

Hovering minute.

Higher vibrations

Playful, beauty, resilience

Good luck messenger.

Joyful hummingbird

Spiritual encounter

Gratitude for you.

The closer we are

with Nature~ harmony, peace

love and joy emerge.

Life is beautiful

Connect with Wonders and Wilds

Adventures abound!
