Description
In her first book, “In the Heart of the Forest” Diana shared intimately about her deep connections and insightful interactions with the heart of northern Wisconsin’s massive northern hardwoods forest in which she lives and dwells and has her being.
An Invitation
A ringing chirp
beckons me to squint up
at frosty popple branches
Two poised grosbeaks
shine golden in the rising sun
I point my mittened hand
to the east, towards my home
hidden in the woodland maze
where my bird feeder
overflows with seeds
The pair remain perched
readjusting their wings
looking nonchalantly about the forest
as if they have many invitations
to choose from
I snowshoe towards home
on the old railroad grade
lined thickly with pines
Navigating over buried logs
then cross the road
to my driveway
Unstrapping my snowshoes
I look at the feeder
astonished to see them there
two grosbeaks
whose wings took flight
over the labyrinth
of uneven treetops
to their chosen feast
