I wish I could always feel how I do alone in the woods
I run through the trees breathless
Alive and awake and wild
Consumed by the trees
Every shade of green blinds me
I listen so hard to the birds and bugs and wind that I can't hear my thoughts
So free and reckless and untouched save for the the sun
Some days I think the forest wants to swallow me whole
and sometimes I think I just might let it
To disappear in the soft emerald folds of Nature's body
And just be this free wild thing
It's tempting
If it weren't for the mosquitos
I might just never come back
