well you know I surely would
I'd go as deep and as far in the forest
as I possibly could

I'd hide from all of this and
surely from some of that
I'd roam those tree strewn river banks
like a prowling mountain cat

I'd take some time to look and see
Time to smell the flowers bloom
Find a tiny spot of grass
and claim it as my nature room

Stretching...reaching for the sun
I'd lie down and rest my head upon the moss
Communicate with the insects
With my Mother I am never lost

Dig my feet into the soil
Plant my toes in the Earth to grow
Lend my voice to the wind
and sing as she blows...

I like big ol' nature rooms and I like this poem as well. It seems when we're out there we feel more connected with everything and everyone. I like the way you brought that to life.

In the quiet solitude of the forest,
one can truly "Hear", and feel!
Good one!

this was so refreshing to read ... nice tone. It was relaxing and I'm sure many of us would choose to do the same. Great job as always.

Recently I went camping and your poem brings back the memory of that event. I am very fond of poems like this because they help me focus my attention away from myself and my problems.

As much as I love nature and the forest, why does the depth scare me? Hmmmm
