Gone
In the woods is where you’ll find me
as far away as I can stay
when I’ll be back I cannot say
I need some time to just be free
a better, kinder, gentler me
amongst the trees, I will transcend
mother nature my only friend
never again to join the fray
shunning the world is now my way.
Gone, until the very end.

There is something about the woods that always reconnects me with myself. It clears the mind and recenters my soul!
