Leaving

I slowly walk in a dense, dark forest where there is no other human soul to defy me. I can hear the wind blow calmly through the trees and I listen to the running stream that twists and turns like the curl of a hair. The rocks and pebbles are hard beneath my unprotected feet, but I continue to stroll as I feel no pain here. I am here to escape the human troubles that burden me so. I could walk forever in this forest. Here nothing matters. Here I can be myself. Here there is no worry, no sadness, no hurt. In this forest I can trust everything that surrounds me for I know it is real and true. There are no tricks or games to be played on me here. I want to stay here where only beauty exist. I want to dissolve into the tree branches and grow with them into the sparkling sky. Rays of the warming sun peak through the leaves and nestle my skin. More nurturing and caring then any person is this forest. These woods provide me with the comfort I've always needed. I'd rather let the river stream take my body and make me a part of it then go back to where I came from. I can no longer deal with the evils of mankind. Let the manufactured world forget me for this is my new home. I can truly be happy in my woods where the earth can guide me to the higher dimension of enlightenment.
