Tanglewood

*

We're going on a rain forest walk,
through the Tanglewood Track.
Grab your camera and water bottle...

We're here on the track
it's so peaceful
and quiet
just the occasional whip bird.
Now keep straight ahead
don't veer left...

See the fresh green bracken

and look up at the tangled sky

up the steps and
around the corner

we pass the vibrant ferns
on the path edges

look at the sun tickling
the old brown tree trunk

and over here
can you see the tangled trees
in a lover's embrace

dancing a slow waltz
in the breeze

Look at this bank of fern
greener than green

and tangled vines
twisting to the sky

tangled, twisted spiral knots

a tiny little tangle vine
setting off on a lifetime's journey

tangles dropping from the trees

and launching upward
from the roots

creating beautiful patterns
like sculpture

and now you can see
why this path is called
the Tanglewood Track
