I stand in the forest unaware of myself...
I wish the forest would hold me,
Would take me,
Maybe it is...
Can I stand like a tree in a forest;
My feet like roots into the earth,
My arms like branches,
My fingers leaves,
Moving in the breeze...
Can I unite with the Earths as one with my surround?
Become earth and wood and branch and leaf
And live my life here in peace?
Allow me to bend in the wind,
To grow in spring
And turn my faces to the sun,
Let me drink it's warmth
And feel it awaken my heart!
Let me pass the seasons here,
Watch the moons come and go,
The days grow long and short once more,
Till even I must fade and fall...
Written 4 may 2014 after completing a long building project I went to the woods to reconnect.
