stony gravel paths<\/h1>\n

stony gravel paths
\ndisappeared beneath my feet
\nunstable darkness
\npassageways through ink-washed trees
\ndisguised by indigo night skies<\/p>\n

By Lynda Lambert<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you, Naturewriting – or publishing this poem in October 2017..<\/p>\n

Note: This short poem is inspired by walking my dogs at night. I like to stand in the darkness and survey the world of Nature that surrounds us,. Winter is the most majestic season for sky watching on a snowy night. Happy New Year. Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you, wherever you may be.<\/p>\n
