Among the gaping willow trees And quiet natural themes I seek my refuge in this land To forever and ever be In the woods I calmly lay With content and introspection I’ve lost an interest in the life That’s claimed many a person Many a person who’s lost touch With Earth’s most valuable riches Instead they value cars and money Time to make new homes and niches And so I elope with the woods Singing soft melodies While others make their way to work I shall be dancing among trees. And when the diggers do come Looking for ancient clues I hope they’ll find my antique bones Beneath the woods with you.
This is one of your finest so far, Jack, I really dig what you're saying. The ending was perfect, too.
thanks trippinbtm, I loved this one as well. I've been writing a lot of nature themed poems as of late
