One With Nature

Get me away from menacing pollution and noise. Get me away from vehicles, buildings and man-made toys Get me away from news media and make-believe attractions Get me away from those who talk but say nothing. Take me where Nature hides above the mountains and the forest Take me where nature ask for nothing but provides peace and solitude Take me where the shadows hide beneath the canopies of vibrant trees Take me to where the Lichen, ferns, wildflowers and meadows dwell Show me where bears, raccoons and deer reside so I can be renewed Show me the trees that absorb carbon dioxide to make more wood Show me the forest floor where countless leaves rejuvenate the earth Show me the medicinal herbs like Ginseng, goldenseal and cohosh Let me breath the air of the forest and smell its clean breath Let me hear the mysterious sounds I have so long ago forgotten Let me listen to my thoughts without the tumult of the city Let me hear the peacefulness and tranquility of the woods so that I may once again be one with Nature.

You're right Maxie. Will send it to my son who plays the guitar and see what he says.
