Ben’s Bench
In the middle of a dense forest of trees
that takes jumping over branches and crawling on the knees
To get to, a journey of a half an hour
There sits an old bench and 14 flowers
The bench is the strangest bench ever seen
It isn’t dark dry wood, but seems a little green
Upon a close look it does seem as though
The frame springs from the ground below
Like special trees grew in some way
That formed a bench one ancient day
It almost feels soft to sit in, soft and sweet
And there’s even a foot rest for my feet
A circle 30 feet diameter where the sun shines down
Though the dense dark forest of trees surrounds
A little piece of Heaven that happened to be found
By me when I was just a boy
A place of retreat and silence and solitude
Some children don’t have a person to run to
Sent from my iPhone
The hollow tree- walk in and big space opens up? Or walk in and it is actually large tree but underground dwelling and dwelling in branches?
Nature entrances and washes my mind and imparts it’s rest to me
Best, you see
I see a sea
I see an ocean
Flowing towards me
In marvelous motion
