alone in a forest of loneliness
an island have become,
closing the door to anyone
who wants to get close...
trees protect me against enemies
the leaves provide shelter
a hollow trunk shields me
from light's onslaught...
animals gather me for comfort
that we provide each other,
birds and crickets sing me to sleep
the morning crows awaken me,
I am what I am and am regretless
basking in the friendships
that offers no pain... my eyes
seek out truth from the environment
she offers up her secrets
for a price... it is paid by my
presence and protective nature,
and life leaves me satisfied.
