A Walk Into The Woods

Poem

breathe more
than you ever wanted
to take the spirit of the leaves
with you in the grey of the walls
to keep it as treasure against
the sound of the cars

fill your eyes
with stupendous glory
of the wind
to have a memory of
the already fading sunlight
to shild yourself
from the black streets

can you feel the freedom?
can you see the blue?

it is a bliss,
a fortune,
to have this place on earth
where you can pretend
to be nature again
