The Woods
Giant trees towering over you
Making even the tallest human feel small,
The wind blowing through their branches,
Whispering secrets you can’t hear
But it's peaceful
The woods is a place where anyone can go,
But only a few find joy,
That is the special thing about them
Some people love them,
Others want to destroy them,
Build suburbs
Those are the people who do see what I do
The woods is a place that has been here for years
Rarely changes,
At least the feeling one gets there never dies,
A sense of calm combined with fresh air,
And if you sit there long enough,
You’ll see the beauty
The birds will sing their songs
Flying amongst their friends
The deer will run through the trees
Frolicking along,
Off to find their food for the day,
The rabbits and the squirrels will be out an about
Just like the people living in the city,
The animals too have their own routines
And if you sit there and just watch
They will show you
You’ll feel the sun on your skin
Warming you from the outside in
The slight breeze blowing your hair
You’ll get to enjoy the place nature calls home
The animals allow you into their home
They’ll show you the peace they find in it
You’ll finally be able to see
The reason why
Most people escape to the woods
To just forget for a moment
And breathe
