Instinct

I am lost Trees are all around I am laid here bare Along with all these sounds I hear them The chirping in the trees All the wolves that are howling And crickets beneath the leaves I stand up And breathe my surroundings Busy, like a town When at its founding I smell them Exotic medical powers Like the rain Covering the forest’s flowers I realize I am hungry Lucky, there is eden all around I grab a nearby fruit Amazing tastes I have found I taste them Explosions of no-doubt healthy fruit Running over me as water Oh forest wonders I loot While harvesting this eden I touch a grand tree I feel its grooves Containing an ages memory I feel them Unearthed roots flowing through Like waves of water Except still, and true I close my eyes Realizing life is around me Even though all is black Never so well have I seen I know them Ancient laws flown Life and death All that’s ever known Then at once! I open my eyes All life explodes In the beauty of surprise I see them The amazing astral sky The forest maintained with lights and mist Beauty again waiting in circle to die And live again
