Tree’s engulf me.
Allow my pale skin to match your red bark,
Let my body stretch into the sky above.
I am tired of this world and your silence is so alluring.

Forest absorb me.
Let my whispering thoughts match the roar of your silence.
Allow my body to still,
And my shaking limbs to stop.

Nature overwhelm me
Swell inside me and release this overload.
Take away my pain
My misery
My happiness
My pleasure.
Take away it all, and replace it with your calm reassurance.

Wilderness
Take my screaming heart,
And claim it as your own.
