Where the light fell
Tall shelter of trees
Protected wood fairies
In soft blue bell breeze

A carpet of lilac
Where deer gently tred
Is a hiding for hares
For the woodmouse, a bed

On bright silver birch
The treecreeper creeps
Over secretive sets
where badger cubs sleep

Bees flit and flirt
as bells gently chime
Jays ring their songs
Not a beat out of time

Song thrushes chirping
amidst cuckoo calls
Brown dippers wading
As cool water falls

Woodpecker drumming
on aged oak wood
Sunlight now stealing
Where orchids once stood

Yet only when darkness
Falls deftly tonight
will the stars brightly burn
and glow worms ignite

As the night sets alight
and hope quietly calls
and if you look with your heart
you will see the light fall
