INTO THE WOODS

By:

Gypsy Rhapsody

 

After hearing about

A trip to Tunica Hills/Clark Creek Hiking Area

near St. Francisville, LA

and

Palmetto State Park

near Abbeville, LA, I was inspired to

recreate the words to the musical

INTO THE WOODS

by Stephen Sondheim

 



Tunica Hills

Ashley and Cooper

 

Into the woods

The way is straight,

The light is soft,

The is air is clear...

 

Mushrooms growing on an old dead tree

 

Into the woods

The discoveries are vast,

The sights are abundant,

Don't be afraid,

Just keep the pace...

Ashley and Cooper discover a waterfall.

 

Into the woods

Hike up a hill

and down again,

Into the woods

The sounds are there...

Cinquapin Oak

 

Into the woods

The sights are there.

Forgotten species

Everywhere...

 

Mystery Tree...Help V discover the name of this one.

 

Into the woods

Mysteries abound,

Artist's palette

All around...

Picnic by the waterfall...

 

Into the woods

Picnics are people,

People are picnics,

Share your food,

and make some memories...

Selfie...Dave, Coop, Ash, Diane, Vannie

 

Into the woods,

Without delay,

The family goes

and makes their way...

Diane and Ashley

 

Into the woods

Stay on the path,

Hurry along

Don't be afraid...

 

 

Into the woods

Find what you may,

Each turn

Lights the way...

Dave...

 

Into the woods

The paths are steep.

The steps are hard.

Patterns in life,

and Patterns in strife...

 

 

Palmetto State Park

Palmettos

 

Into the woods

Lots of green,

and brown,

Soft and hard,

Sharp and round...

 

 

Cooper

 

Into the woods

A boy can be free,

He is alive,

No phones,

No computers,

No TV...

 

Armadillo

 

Into the woods

Creatures can rustle,

Like the boy,

It is free and alive,

Under trees and leaves...

Birds

 

Into the woods,

Birds can

Soar, Fly, Float

Free from worry

and

Hurry...

Vermillion River

 

Into the woods,

The river runs

Lazy and Crazy,

It hums its song

of complete contentment...

 

Into the woods

Reflections are found,

In the water and

In your thoughts...

 

Into the woods

Minds are clear..

Clouds of life are gone...

Only peace, perfect peace.

Into the woods,

The day is done,

The sun is low,

The night is coming,

The journey's over.
