Fun walk in Boitsfort to unwind;
For once the sun is warm and kind
The sky deep blue, wreathed in light cloud
And chirruping of birds quite loud!
The joy of walking far from cars!
Eternal nettles frame the paths
Where twisty tree roots lie in wait
To trip up those with nervous gait.
A crested glebe its nest displays
While two ducks preen in springtime haze
On the “Enfants Noyés” lake
Which suggests dramatic fate…
A flash - as furtive squirrel passes!
Gold beetle spotted by long grasses
Bright swathes of bluebells on the rise …
Long picnic tables – a surprise!
The local medics* planned this walk
Where locals congregate and talk;
Where moss adorns old scattered logs
Still hidden out of sight – small frogs!

* Walk organised by the Maison Médicale de Forêt de Soignes
It was indeed a joyous walk amongst nature.
