(1)
Return to the pine forest
thinly snow coated.
In this silence broken only
by raven calls we have
to be comfortable with ourselves
in the midst of nature.
I wander the hard trails lined
with dried needles and
attempt to let go of all
thoughts and concerns,
even the direction I am heading.
(2)
Stripped of daily responsibilities
am I comfortable enough with myself
to let go and allow the forest
to let me in?
Am I ready?
What if the forest
does not desire me here?
