I hide beneath the trees, like it’s my own forbidden forest I nestle under shade to cool my soul I use rocks to hide my presence In a mist like evanescence Because the sun that’s beating down will take its toll I hide away from others I seclude to gain my peace I find solace in the forest Among the rocks and leaves I justify my silence as I peer out from the hedge I see a waterfall and I bathe at waters edge I focus on my yin and yang And I wallow with my spirit And sometimes I scream out loud as hell, so everyone can hear it
