A Sacred Place

Sue Cartwright • 25 August 2023

A sacred place where ancient woodlands grow, rivers flow, oaks creak and wolves are free to roam

A Sacred Place - A Poem by Sue Cartwright, Spiral Leaf


A sacred place;

Wild magnificence, mysterious grace;

Balance, harmony, peace, space;

Nature's embrace.


A wolf waits;

Watchful, aware, senses piqued;

Wise, intelligent, masterful, sleek;

In perfect peace.


The night gleams;

Elemental energy, charged, real;

In valleys, woodlands, rivers, streams;

A place of dreams.


Water flows;

Swift and purposefully, it goes;

Down to the sea where the winds blow;

Energetic flow.


An oak creaks;

In universal language, Nature speaks;

Sounds of life, spiritual mystique;

Our destiny to seek.


A raven croaks;

Soaring high, feathers swish and glide;

Outspread wings in masterful flight;

Guiding us home.
