filled with song from places

The willow trees and shorter pieces we saw on the beach reminded me of ‘Willow’ from Spell Songs, so here is some music for you today too:

Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge: Dog Walking
Cairngorms National Park
A few snowflakes brush our faces and melt before touching the ground. We are not sure, where they came from. The patch of sky above us is translucent blue. Across the loch, clouds hover above the snow-capped peaks. Perhaps they travelled from there, on the wind.

Rag Tag Daily Prompt: Manifold
After a frosty night, the sun warms the day. The light shines through leafless trees, glitters in the brown heather. A sandy trail meanders through gorse and pine towards the sea.

the scent of earth and pine
walk with us on the trail
the flutter of a raven’s wings
in the trees above us sings
~ the song of an inner moon ~
that soothes the inner tide
and merges with outside
in breaths of peace, deep peace
and all the love we carry

PI Poetry Prompt: Peace
Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge: Woodland
It is safe to return to the woods now the storms have passed and it takes a while to find our bearings. Where once was a path, the ground is covered with fallen branches. Where, until recently, trees stood filled with squirrels and birdsong, we discover wide open spaces filled with light. The usual landmarks where we would turn right and right again have disappeared and we fall back on an ancient, inner compass.
deep forest
each journey still rooted
in the soil

We hope you all stayed safe in the storms and wish you a blessed Monday and a peaceful week ahead,

PI Poetry Prompt: Storm
Weekly Prompt Weekend Challenge: Close-Up
The dogs are wearing thermals under their coats and the wind-chill makes our eyes water. The sea rolls on now the storms have passed and the salt air smells invigorating. Eivor and Pearl run and chase balls. A quiet drum beats inside us, returning us to peace.
