Into the Woods After the News



Walking with my head down into the woods,

The news the news the news the news,

Walking into the woods in first light,

Hands empty, poetry in my pocket,

Into the woods and its close distances

Shining with cloud and awakening birds,

Gossamer across my face,

Pant legs weighted with dew,

Mind emptying into the ferns,

Spirit rising into the mist,

Living my life at this moment

As if i had all the time in the world,

Walking deeper into the woods.
