Through the woods, dense around em
walking to the camp
A joy in the solitude, footsteps
on the soft dirt road,
forever damp in shadow
lush woods, forest, with
the scent of pine, of decay,
of growing plants, ripe berries
of bubbling brook, green and brown forest
lost in thought,
the present holding sway
