The Huntress Of Skipton Castle Woods

This is a real Flashku(I hope) for the challenge below. The music Françoise Hardy's "Tiny Goddess" which I think is an appropriate accompaniment.

I will use the story below for the seven chosen words.

The Huntress

FindingThe Huntress, My Goddess Of Nature

An American friend told me about her.

I looked at her image and saw her beauty. She was a hundred miles away but I had to find her.

I found the wood but could not see her

Had she gone?

My spirits were down as I wandered through to trees in despair.

I saw the water and the stream swelled by rain and then the willow horse.

The Willow Horse

Skipton Castle was through the trees, the leaves of brown and gold coated the path.

And Then I saw her

I had found my Nature Goddess, and my spirits flew

I was grateful my fear of losing her fell like raindrops

She is beautiful and now we see each other as I make my pilgrimage every year.

She makes me whole and heals my soul.

This is another story of how I met her

    That was well crafted, but the question that pounds is that: we are in such a situation, where we have to FIND nature...a pathetic reality, that I personally admit. I feel it's a social commentary to the contemporary scenarios...
