This is where to go
when you need
to think
or not to think
Find the woods
to find yourself
strolling under a canopy
of starlight
the smell of pine needles
in the air
a rustle over there in
the bushes
a sky like a
blanket of blue
just keep walking
until you forget
all the things
you need to do
all the things
you’re scared of
all the confusion
in your head
just keep walking
until you start to
feel like the branches
of a tree or the
stars above.
