Feb 2022 singer-songwriter guitar
I am using an old 12 string which has had it's headstock repaired twice. It is a Mann guitar made in West Germany many years ago. My brother and I live close to many forest trails which we walk a few times each week...my salvation, to say the least.
Forest Bathing
When I arise each morning new
And see the day before me,
I long for nature's gifts to view
To see what lays before me.
I drive out to the woods serene
And leave the car behind me,
Now I am lost in forest green,
And lose my cares behind me.
The paths are always new and old
Calming as I walk along,
So slowly wandering do I go
My heart is singing forest songs.
If earth is my true mother fair
Then I in loving arms she bears,
She bathes me with her forest charms
And soothes me in her forest arms.

Great imagery and a great message. I also live by a lot of wooded trails in Massachusetts and they have been a major refuge during the past few crazy years. Hope you're enjoying the view up north!
