The majesty of the forest

The enchantment of the woods

The lure of nature

Calling us back

Back to our origin

Where it all began

Distant. Disconnected. Disbelief.

When did we stray?

So far away from

life-real life.

Growing. Living. Breathing.

It feels so good.

So free, So liberating.

I feel as if I could fly.

Soaring, higher and higher-

Energized, yet serene-

Exhilarated.

Searching inward rather than out.

Reaching deeper-Stretching

Touching the source itself.

Soul. Spirit. Self.

Truth-such a foreign word

when you think about it.

And at the bottom of

Pandora's Box was hope.

---CCC 2/95
