I have always belonged to the wild,<\/p>\n
my legs seeking the solitude of long<\/p>\n
grasses and bracken ferns, the queitness<\/p>\n
of a forest full birds singing, the touch<\/p>\n
of bark as I brushed against the landscape.<\/p>\n
My eyes have never seen anything more<\/p>\n
honest than the leaf, felt such strength,<\/p>\n
such hope between my fingers. This<\/p>\n
place is love, the smell of love, I feel it<\/p>\n
seeping in. filling the empty places<\/p>\n
left from town living, from to many<\/p>\n
people, from a prison of expectation,<\/p>\n
more and more, I shrink there my<\/p>\n
mind brimming with nonsance, with<\/p>\n
fear, so every morning l rise and go<\/p>\n
home to the forest, to her songs<\/p>\n
for my heart has always known<\/p>\n
how to speak tree, how to taste<\/p>\n
love, and my body knows how to<\/p>\n
belong, for here l soar like a bird,<\/p>\n
