travel poem: Finland
vast forested wildernesses
Lemmenjoki National Park
and Oulanka National Park
wings of hawks and eagles
treks among the pines and
lakes in summer
in far north
It's a golden,
sunny season as Finland bursts
into life with an explosion of festivals,
good cheer
and optimism.
the towns are buzzing,
but it's also a time to head for the lakelands
of Mikkeli & around and
Lappeenranta.
Sit on the veranda of a waterside wooden cottage
and watch the summer sun shining
low over the trees,
and you'll have experienced
one of Finland's ultimate treats;
a real Nordic peace
that eases the soul.
