INTO THE WOODS


  Leave behind the concrete jungle and every day 
  Expectations,

  Step out of your work shoes and Into another frame 
  Of mind.

  Away from the pain and sorrow of what a love 
  Destroys,

  Your heart and mind, leave far behind.


  Walk your feet Into a world of darkness,


  Hearing only the crunch of what's beneath you.


  No stress or the fast pace of It all,


  Only trees that watch as you pass by them all.


  Where all Is quiet except creatures that stir,


  This Is a different world where you will not be 
  Heard.

  No worries or crying over what's out there,


  Into the woods, alone I am there.
