Forest Bathing

Take me to the forest to bathe by the trees Allow my soul be healed by the breeze Absorb my woes or cast them out Prevent descent into this awful self doubt Stay a while, to imagine the scene To lie on the moss, feeling serene Gentle dappled light caressing all of the senses Soothed to the point there is no need for defences The trees have stood ever watchful and still Offer me peace, yet asking for nil Feel held by an aura, cradled by light "Held in love" the mantra to repeat and recite Everything is reflected, magnified The trees willing to listen so I confide It is forever that I have felt all wrong I want to stop, I want to sing another song Stay a while, let's hold hands and pray Lay on the moss, within this gentle day Bathed in this light filling all of the senses Soothing self and others whilst healing commences
