Congratulations on winning the Spiritual fiction contest. It's almost impossible to develop a complete scenario in three sentences and just twenty-seven words, but you've accomplished it. I love the idea of feeling energy from spirits and deciding to protect the source. Well done.

Ciao mystery poet,

I gave my vote to Faithful Seizure Dog but I was really happy to see your poem was/ is leading.

I love your words

I cherish my walks in the chestnut woods and pine forests .. i can feel the energy you are speaking of..

It's an energy that heals my troubled soul from anxiety and stress.. I feel so much better after my walk .

We really must protect our flora as much as our fauna .. best medicine for our inner self .

Your poem is inspiring. I often wonder what huge ancient trees have seen. I wish we could protect them all. Your piece reflects my own heart. You should do very well in the contest.

Of course, I love this theme - as the trees played a big role in the history of humanity since the Garden of Eden. I like that you show the communication between the narrator and the trees. Best wishes in the contest!

Hi there,

I liked this piece a lot. There's an ethereal and whimsy tone to it which is properly spiritual rather than religious which sets it aside from many of the others in my opinion.

best of luck with it

    Thanks for your comments. I thought the others were religious rather than spiritual too.

Nature is your spiritual experience, this is good you share your experience in term of speaking about the spirits of the forest, you wish to protect the ancient trees; you know, feel the energy of the forest spirits; wish you good luck for the contest; I find you have not followed, observed or maintained the prompt of the contest, your contest entry has only two sentences, as the third sentence is missing, though you have written this in 27 words. Maybe you have escaped the contest writing prompt; well said, well done; post more. ALCREATOR LITT DEAR (D R)

    Thank you for pointing out my error in not having 3 sentences. I have fixed it now.

This appeals to me greatly because when I was a child, I used to see (or imagine) faces made up from the bark patterns in trees, and I thought that perhaps when people died, they were reincarnated as trees, becoming one with nature. More than that, when I saw faces in the woodgrain of panels in peoples homes, I thought the wooden panels must have been cut from such trees, taking the faces with them. Weird or what.
This is a lovely mystical piece of writing. Thanks for sharing.

    That's a fascinating glimpse of your imagination as a child, seeing faces in bark and woodgrain. Eucalyptus trees often have wonderful patterns in their bark.

    Thanks Roy. I got the 27 syllables right, but forgot it had to be in 3 sentences. Duh! and there were so few rules to follow! I've fixed it now.
