In the Woods

From the concrete jungle I make my escape Just trying to get away from the rat race And find a peaceful place Where I can gather my thoughts And commune with nature as I aught After a while I see the outline of trees And then I feel A touch of breeze Its gentle caress feels so good I feel peaceful as I walk into the woods I hear birds chirping overhead And I see butterflies floating with wings spread Insects going to and fro As through the trees the sunlight glows I close my eyes and let the sounds soak into my being, I have found the peace I seek amid these trees Silently I walk, my thoughts at ease Feeling like a butterfly floating on the breeze My heart flutters and my soul is pleased
