Wilderness

entry picture
I walked through the forest...
Treading on the falling leaves...
The air smelled fresh...
The silence of the wilderness had a language of its own..
It rustled, it chirped, it sang, it gurgled, it slithered, it whispered...come into my abode....
Sit, breathe, live a little, hum a little...
See me transform as the season decides to cloak me...
See yourself change as you sit awestruck...
They call my homeĀ  the wilderness...
I call it my fortress...
