Circle of trees in a meadow

Circle of trees in a meadow

The first time I felt the trees I was angry
With moss at my feet they circled me

I asked for nothing
My problems were human
Or so I thought

Then a calming wisdom came
Curled round me like a ribbon
The leaves moved a little by wind
Danced at my returning

And with my hands I felt the flesh of the moss at my feet
And rising went 
a changed woman
Into the house

It's almost as though you are describing a quietly subtle moment in Ibsen or Chekov.

Lovely.

Well I guess you could call it love,the trees took away my anger,made me see how trivial it was to be angry and soothed me. What I was really talking about was a sort of brief spiritual connection. Thanks for the comment.
