Nature resonates deeply with me. It is a source of simple joy, and unfailing renewal and solace. Sharing a recent poem with some photos clicked by me over the last few years, while traipsing around in various forests and mountains. Two firm favourites.

There is a forest in my mind
Tall trees kissing azure skies,
Some bramblewood,
Electric wildflowers growing
Drunken amber sunsets
And the fingers of my branches
Tickling golden dawns
That’s where i live.
And perforce venture out
To tackle a truckload
Of mundane tasks.
But if you ever search for me,
Now you know where.
In a deep green place
Nestled between mountains,
Where the trees speak in sighs,
Where past & present blur,
Where there is only
The whisper of infinity
In the trickle of a small silver stream
Over ancient rocks and moss,
That’s where you’ll find me.
