In the Wilderness

This! my home?
Greedy me on the whole

Like an oak fern, I blossom
When all is gone I _ lonesome

The trees, hence not green
It's leaves dare not grin

Just me and my wildbeast
To fill in the back seat

Just me and my thoughts(left/right)
To Cary the weight and bear the loss

A blind man can tell
"in the wilderness" I have built a nest
